Hey All,
This is my first post here, so let me know if it would be better somewhere else.
I run a landscaping business and am expanding into arborism. I have a great guy with experience working for me and want to make sure I have all the paperwork in order. I have a terrible habit of doing everything above board and by the book.
I am in washington.
I have gen. liability, and called my L and I rep. looking for what risk codes I need to use for this as far as workman's comp. It looks like I just need tree care/service and logging for dropping trees. Really not too bad all said and done. Is there anything I am missing? Any special classification to have someone in a tree?
The main reason I am asking is that my good buddy is running an arborist company in North Carolina and the workman's comp is UNREAL. something like $15k upfront and 40% of what you earn. I know it varies, state to state, but that seems like a big jump.
Thanks for any advice!
