    Usually the state where the company is based. Sometimes companies hire management companies in other states to handle workers comp, payroll, etc.

    At any rate, it sounds shady to me. Might be a good idea to talk to an attorney about it? Ive never heard of a company taking 200 a month for workers comp from an employee and most companies have to provide workers comp for employees, with certain exceptions, as required by law.

    Are you aware if your getting a 1099 at the end of the year, YOU will have to pay taxes on that. Also it seems by you signing that waiver, if get hurt on the job, you won't collect workman's comp. Most States required the employers to have workman's comp to the employee. Like said above.......sounds like your driving for a shady outfit. I would run far away from them.

    If you get a 1099, you are not an employee. If you are treated like an employee and get a 1099, you are misclassified. A call to the IRS will get it all sorted for you and your "employer"

    A contractor must buy their own workmens comp insurance or go without. Regardless they are not entitled to same workmens comp allowances as regular employees.

    Sounds like the company lost the ability to offer a specific group workmens comp coverage for it's contractors, and is now requiring them to find it elsewhere
