No Workers Comp Insurance - Now What?
๐ฅ “๐๐ก๐ ‘๐๐จ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ? ๐๐จ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ!’ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐” ๐ฅ
➡️ Your subcontractor skips workers comp
➡️ You get slapped with the bill during your audit
➡️ And the sub still expects full payment like nothing happened
Fun, right? ๐
Here’s the truth:
If your sub doesn’t have workers comp, your insurance company treats them like they’re your employee.

So what’s the fix?
๐ Withhold a portion of the sub’s pay equal to YOUR workers comp exposure.
๐ Put it in the subcontract agreement.
๐ Apply it every. single. time.

If the sub wants the full check?
They buy a policy.
Simple adulting.
If you want the full process, the SOP, the checklist, the JobTread workflow, and the QuickBooks setup — I built all of it. Because you deserve to be protected from subs who think insurance is “optional.”

⛔ You’re not a bank.
⛔You’re not a babysitter.
⛔And you shouldn’t be paying for someone else’s lack of coverage.
