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.

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