Good morning all, I listened to episode 442 of the podcast a couple of weeks ago in which Bryce Stewart brought up the importance of workers comp waiver forms. I own properties in New York state and Oregon and I hire individuals to do work in each state (snow shoveling/plowing, lawn mowing, cleaning, etc.). Do others utilize workers comp waiver forms? Is this something that I should be doing? Are there other/better ways to protect myself? For context a own a total of four properties (10 units). Thanks! 

I just asked my insurance guy and unfortunately he has never heard of it. I'm about to post a very similar post in the forum to try and find anyone in the BP community who has utilized this form.

Thanks for bumping this, I was surprised I did not receive any responses. Interesting that your insurance rep has never heard of it...

@Todd Ashley as owner of a company in IN i have a waiver for workmans comp. Any employees I may have need to be covered tho.

Others states laws may be different.

Waylon,

Are you using a standard W.C. waver form? Would you be willing to share it?  I can't see the harm in using one.

@Dustin Haug it is found on the in.gov website and it is state specific. It is only for owners of companies.

@Waylon Zook Great. Thank you.

WC Waivers are state specific and each state has their own laws regarding it.
