Struggling with an audit that came back saying all owner/operators who I hired last year fall under my workman comp policy for 2 employees. Last year my policy was $400 again for 2 employess now I am being told I need to pay $17,000 for last year. They are virtually saying that they were all employees of mine? Anyone ever heeard of such a thing?

There too, you’re hiring them as a subcontractor. Sounds like someone doesn’t know what he’s doing over by your insurance agent.

It really is crazy I can understand going forward saying my policy rate is going up but the way it is if I quote you $5 grand to paint your house and I get done and say " That job was bigger than I thought I am going to need $10 K.

We showed our broker/carrier contract requiring our carriers to have their own WC policies. We then provided copies of dozens of current COI's showing WC coverage for a sampling of our 1099 carriers. They reversed their audit decision and returned the policy to the pre-audit number. DO NOT PAY THAT PREMIUM!

In TN there is a law stating that contract labor does not have to be covered under our policy. I just beat a aduit demand of 20,000.00. I used state law and lease contract. I got a 127.00 refund after everything was said and done. Good luck

This is 100% fight against the workman comp. policy that I had for myself and their token that it needs to umbrella coverage every owner operator that I hired. Now they want to audit Jan.1 thru April 20.....I knew it.

I had to show that everyone on their own truck 1099 registrations tax forms and then they left me alone it's just took some time of An Inconvenient for my office gal for 2 months so I sent them a bill for the time involved and received nothing. Workman's comp is a fraud my opinion
