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).

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
authority permitting advance releases from BI claims in the
employment context, it would appear from the mandatory statutory language
and public policy grounds that such would not be enforceable in the

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>
