<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Employee leasing companies only cover those employees that are on the weekly payroll reports. Undocumented employees, day laborers and uninsured sub-contractors are specifically excluded from the coverage.
There are several ways to avoid this uninsured exposure:</span></p>

<ol start="1" type="1" style="margin-top:0in">

on a reporting form basis and are usually many times less expensive than what the employee leasing company is charging;</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D">Have the employee leasing company endorse a “minimum earned workers compensation policy.†Most employee leasing companies have this capability. However, the minimum premium is usually around $10,000; or</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D">Have the GC refrain from day labor and enforce a stringent workers compensation certificate program to mitigate the uninsured exposure (most difficult option).</li></ol>

</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a General Contractor client that is having repeated problems with Subcontractors who provide Worker’s Comp. Cert. of Ins. from an Employee Leasing company that specifies some individuals who are covered under the WC policy, but then
the Subcontractor sends out other employees who are not on the list. The problem is becoming more prevalent as more Subcontractors use these leasing companies. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions on how the General Contractor can address the issue on an global basis, rather than having his superintendents do daily checks of the subcontractor work force.</p>
