Workers' Comp Waiver Form Template
Document a workers' compensation waiver or exemption with all the required information.
Workers' compensation waivers and exemptions are available in specific circumstances — for certain corporate officers, independent contractors, or members of excluded categories under state law. This form captures the documentation needed to support a valid exemption or waiver claim.
The template covers the individual's name, role, and ownership percentage if applicable, the legal basis for the exemption or waiver, the state where coverage is being waived, an acknowledgment of the risks being assumed, any conditions attached to the waiver, and a dated signature.
Waivers without proper documentation can be challenged. A completed form with appropriate language creates the record needed to defend the arrangement if a claim is later filed.
Requirements vary significantly by state. In many states, corporate officers, LLC members, or sole proprietors can elect to exempt themselves. Some states allow independent contractors to waive coverage. Check your state's workers' compensation law for specific eligibility.
They generally cannot file a workers' compensation claim. They may pursue claims through their personal health insurance, disability insurance, or general liability coverage if another party was at fault. The waiver acknowledges this risk.
Some states allow this; others do not. Misclassifying employees as independent contractors to avoid workers' comp coverage creates serious legal and financial liability. Consult an employment attorney before using contractor waivers.
In many states, yes — exemptions must be filed with the state workers' compensation board or labor department. Check your state's requirements and include the applicable filing instructions in the form workflow.
Yes, typically by providing written notice to the appropriate parties. Include a revocation process note in the form and document any changes to coverage status with the state board.
