Not all insurance companies will rate timber framing the same or shop work vs site work at different rates

Nor will all insurance companies rate labor the same on an apples to apples basis...You need to check around and see who will give you the best deal..

We get a really low rate when the guys are in the shop....We pay over 3 times that rate for everything else....10% might not seem like much....but if your total payroll is 80,000.00 a year then it can add up fast

Thinking about this, perhaps it makes a difference if the itinerant is a legal company, for example and LLC. Tom, are you a legally registered company? Perhaps that would be the difference between being a sub versus being considered an employee. When you hire the plumbing sub, they should be a liscensed bonded company. I wouldn't think it would cost much to be a liscensed registered company provided you purchased the required insurance.

I'm legally registered, dba; The Edge Woodworks. I also have a state sales tax number and file ST-1 with the IL Dept. of Revenue, but I only have to file once a year.
Being bonded is something different and is expensive. Tom

Its not illegal to sub out work...The state claims its illegal to call someone a subcontractor when they really aren't....

Microsoft got hammered a while back for the same thing....They were calling the people temps but the attorney proved they were employees....

Thats how this stuff gets screwed up ....its the attorneys
