Virginia law requires that every employer who
regularly employs more than t wo part-time or full-time employees purchase and maintain workers' compensation insurance. A
business that hires subcontractors to assist in the work of the business or fulfill a contract of the business must count the
ing employees to determine if / when coverage is required. This is true even if the
A contractor should gather proof of coverage from all subcontractors hired and should not be charged insurance premium for
subcontractors that have their own coverage. Regardless, a contractor that hires subcontractors with employees must count t he
when counting total employees and determining when / whether the contractor is re quire d t o c arry
coverage. Virginia coverage requirements for contractors are surprisingly broad and unique. Please take time to review.
