Pursuant to Florida Law, subcontractors are considered employees of the general contractor and, therefore, the general contractor must provide workers’ compensation coverage for any subcontractor’s employees, unless the subcontractor has its own workers’ compensation coverage or is exempt.

However, understanding the intricacies and complexities of exemptions and coverage issues is crucial in avoiding exposure to claims brought forth by employees of subcontractors.

The attorneys at Druckman, Fee and Chait, P.A. can provide your company with written policies and procedures to utilize with all subcontractors in order to avoid costly and unforeseen exposure.
