Contact your state - but if you're exempt from having to have insurance that doesn't mean you should forgo coverage. Even if you have health insurance, who will pay for that if you're seriously injured & can't work? Comp offers lifetime medical benefits due to a work related injury. Maybe you sometimes use subcontractors too, and your state may be one that says you have to provide coverage for your subs who don't have it - talk with your insurance agent first, and if you opt to take the exemption, do so legally. Also, some of your clients may require you to carry this coverage even if the state says you're exempt - you may be able to get higher pay from the General Contractor because you provide your own insurance.

Does employer have to turn it in to workmans comp or can they pay out of pocket so there workmans comp want go up?

Employers are generally required by law to report workplace injuries to their workers' compensation insurance provider. While some employers may choose to pay out of pocket to avoid potential increases in their premiums, this practice can be risky and may not comply with legal obligations, depending on state laws. Additionally, not reporting the injury can result in legal consequences and deny the injured employee their rightful benefits. It's advisable for employers to follow the proper reporting procedures to ensure compliance and protect both the employee and the business.
