Independent Contractors & The New Delaware Comp Law

As of this date clarification regarding the requirement of independent contractors and subcontractors to carry work comp coverage is still pending. Currently, based on the Delaware Department of Labor Feb 14th press release, all independent contractors and subcontractors are required to carry comp coverage on themsleves and employees as of Jan 17th. The question now becomes, who qualifies as an independent contractor and can independents exempt themselves like the old days. I spoke with department (Labor) today and they are going to post a clarification sometime in the near future. As of now however all independent contractors and subs, should carry comp coverage. Please call us with questions or for further discussion, and we are ready to get the coverage in place for you. K
