Can anyone give us a good lead on reasonable workers comp ins? We were quoted around 26%. Tn based tree service
And the Superskwerl upholds his claim of subcontractor status by carrying his own liability insurance and providing his own equipment.skwerl said:JD, I work as an independant subcontractor for small, owner-operator size tree services. I am not an employee.
Diesel JD said:Vharrisson and Skwerl....suppose, you are a legit company...contractor's license , insured everything...... and own your own company, and you are helped by 2 or three other tree guys who really aren't employees...just get paid for their work, sort of like a contactor. Must you have worker's comp? This is how a lot of tree work is done in the G-ville area. there are only the real big tree companies and the small owner operated units...Are they legit operating thsi way?
skwerl said:I spent over a year attempting to get an exemption card and kept getting stonewalled at the WC office because I did not fit into either Construction nor Landscaping categories. Three different people refused to accept my application and told me I was already exempt by law since I wasn't in construction or landscaping. I went to my insurance company (Sihle Insurance, specializing in small to medium business insurance) and they could not sell me a WC policy if I wanted one. I finally gave up on the entire matter and simply ignored any reference to WC since. IMO it's like throwing money down the toilet anyway.
