The key word here is "contractor". The question of the size of the employer's workforce becomes moot when (s)he must deal with a contractor; because, a contractor is not an employee. Those things which govern the actions of and expectations from an employee by a business entity do not apply to a contractor except where stipulated and spelled out in the contract. The same holds true for those things for which a contractor may charge someone: Without a signed contract, a contractor can charge for anything (s)he wants to... It is only when the contract which contains such a stipulation gets signed that any legal and binding obligations to pay come into existence. If You are dealing with a contractor, and the terms of the contract are not to your liking, you need to check around to see if these types of terms are customarily included in contracts for the services for which you are contracting. It may be that what you see IS a customary charge in an acceptable contract. It may also be the case that you are dealing with a contractor who is one of only a few who are prone to include such a charge. Negotiation of the contract may be an option. A contractor's dealings with a small business are not the same as those with a large corporation; and, whereas a large corporation may be accustomed to accommodating a contractor in certain ways, a small business may not. You may have the wrong contractor. All of this is the homework that needs to be done when shopping for a contractor; and, a good fit between contractor, contract, and contractee is the aim for all concerned... ...and it depends on the state. Your contractor (your General Contractor?) may be asking you this because he believes your state to be a "ladder state," meaning liability goes up the ladder until someone can pay. He may require you to carry coverage so he doesn't wind up paying it himself in an audit and having to pay claims from your employees. If so, it's fair and reasonable for him to ask you to carry Comp. Further, though some states would exempt you from coveragerequirements with fewer than 3 employees, no state exempts you from liability.

Massachusetts Answer #2 You better check with workman's comp. I know of a case where a fellow employee fell in the bathroom at work and was denied payments because it was not considered "work related". In this particular case, the company turned it in as workman's comp but it was refused.
