Pa State Workers Insurance fund question.
When using the Pa State Workers Insurance Fund for workers compensation, do they force you to pay workers comp on uninsured sub-contractors. I know the quick answer is yes but that is debatable.
Pa SWIF has you fill out a questionnaire to establish the relationship between you and the contractor. For example I hire a roofing company, which consists of 2 brothers with no workers comp, 2 hours from my home and it is a one time transaction plus they have their own tools, take no directions ext. Those of you in the business know what I am talking about. How does Pa really treat these scenarios during the audit process. An example would be great.
Thanks.
