Turns out that "volunteers" working without remuneration are not "employees"
of the GC under comp law. Mea culpa. See, Fla. Stat. s.
440.02(15)(d)6 (person who does not receive remuneration for services is
presumed a "volunteer" which is defined not to be an "employee" for ch.
440 WC purposes). So, the volunteer Church workforce will not have
claims against the GC's WC policy but will have claims, if injured, against
GC's GL policy (unless excluded under the GL policy). </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Fla. Stats. ss. 440.09 and 440.10 mandate (absent statutory
exemption) that the employer (GC) provide WC benefits to injured
employees. Though I invite others to cite to statutory or common law

employment context, it would appear from the mandatory statutory language and

Injured workers, volunteer or otherwise, will likely have recourse against the
GC's Workers Comp policy as the statutory employer of record. Not an
expert on comp law, but that is my understanding. As the GC of record,
GC's GL policy will also be exposed to claims for both third party BI and PD
claims.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> I
am not sure a worker, volunteer or otherwise, can enforceably
release in advance claims for jobsite injuries. If that were the case, I
suspect all kinds of employers would extract such concessions from their
employees or laborers. I would suggest the GC get a (725.06
compliant) indemnity and hold harmless agreement from the Church itself
which is the entity actually benefitting from everyone's volunteering and the
entity likely best able to respond to an actual claim for indemnity from the
GC.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">A church owner wants to use
“volunteers” from the congregation to do much of the labor on a
renovation. A GC will be paid to pull permits and actually supervise and
direct the work (not just pull permits and disappear.) GC is concerned
about liability for these volunteers if they are injured on the job and would
like to address it as much as possible contractually and/or with
waivers/releases signed by the volunteers. <o:p></o:p></P>
