It is my understanding that W/C is only required for actual employees. Self employed can waive their W/C and in a Florida corporation, all officers can also waive their W/C. If a sub uses employees, they MUST have W/C. I have attached a standard workers comp waiver that we use for your use. It has been reviewed by our attorney's and is supposedly legitemate...Good luck!
