At this point I believe the proper action would be to withhold from the payment the estimated premium based on the total amount of payments made to the subsub. At final audit, the subcontractor will be asked to provide all payments made to subsubs and then to provide certificates of insurance for each. For the subsub at issue, there will not be a certificate so subcontractor will be charged additional premium based on the total amount of the payments made to the subsub. By deducting it now, the subcontractor will already have the money to pay the additional premium. However, letting any subcontractor on a job without first getting a certificate of insurance is a very risky, and well could be, a very expensive proposition.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:clc-discussion-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org">clc-discussion-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a> [<a href="mailto:clc-discussion-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org">mailto:clc-discussion-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Fred Dudley<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, March 16, 2016 10:28 AM<br><b>To:</b> Smith, Jared <<a href="mailto:jsmith@rumberger.com">jsmith@rumberger.com</a>>; <a href="mailto:clc-discussion@lists.flabarrpptl.org">clc-discussion@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [CLC-Discussion] Back charge for failure to maintain work comp insurance?<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>This a great question, Jared, and one for which we need to seek clarification.
