Need Workers' Comp for a Job?
A GC just told you they need proof of workers' compensation before you can start. Here's what you need to know and how to get it fast.
Why GCs Require Workers' Comp
When you work on a GC's job site without workers' comp, the GC can be held liable if one of your employees gets hurt. To protect themselves, most GCs require every sub to carry their own workers' comp policy before stepping on site.
This is true even in Texas, where workers' comp isn't required by state law for most private employers.
