Certificate of Election to be Exempt from Florida’s Workers’ Compensation Law

faq 1 faq 1
What’s Workers Compensation, and Who’s Required to Have It?

Florida Statutes 440 answers these questions. To summarize, workers compensation is what a company must pay out to an injured employee unless that employee is exempt. Usually, companies pay this through workers compensation insurance.

The state government divides all businesses into two categories when discussing workers comp: construction and non-construction. The former must provide workers compensation if they have even one employee, whereas the latter aren’t required to provide it until they have four or more—including owners, officers, and members.

Why File for Workers Compensation Exemption?

contract2

Just as your car insurance payments go up the more vehicles you have on your insurance, your workers comp insurance premiums are based on the total payroll of a business. In Florida; however, Owners, Officers, and Members of an LLC can file for workers comp exemption so their pay doesn’t count towards those premiums, or the employee count for the legal requirement. The applicant must personally sign the application for exemption- failure to do so is a third-degree felony. If you need help navigating the process, please give us a call at (561) 600-1601.

Section 105.1 of the Florida Building Code states that a permit is required to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy or occupant content of a building or structure or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by the technical codes.

Permit fees are based on the value of the job (contract price), and they can range between a few hundred dollars for simple projects to thousands for large-scale projects. Other factors can affect the total fees due including fire plan review fees, historic preservation review fees, State surcharges, the number of subcontractors, and impact fees. Also, County and/or City fees can vary between municipalities.
