How long does it take to get a functional capacity assessment test?
It depends on which Functional Capacity Evaluation system your evaluator is using. If they are Matheson-trained then the assessment should be around 6-8 hours. This is so that your full-day capacity can be assessed so that, if it is decided that you can and should return to work, they can then determine what job demand level you should safely return to (for example, a desk job might be a light demand level and working in a factory might be a medium demand level). Realistically, it is a very good way of seeing what your full-day functional capacity is because the evaluator is actually observing it rather than extrapolating the information.
Other systems differ in that some do a much shorter FCE (anywhere from 2-4 hours) and some do a two-day FCE (probably around 4-5 hours each day) so that your "next-day" ability can be assessed.

Can an employer make a subcontractor pay for workman's comp?
Probably, because if you don't have it, he may be required to carry it or remain liable. If you don't have it, he can probably add you to his & pass the cost to you - which could be a cheaper route for you to go. You might ask for the rate & exposure schedule of his policy to ensure you're being charged the right rate - after all, math errors can easily happen to anyone. If you have employees or subs, ask if you can be named an Additional Insured on his policy. It's not the same as being the Insured yourself, but it's better than not being named at all.
