Insurance Requirements
-
I am a small operation and do not carry any insurance, why do I have to provide this information?
While working on behalf of GC realty and Development LLC it is possible that your work for us may result in Bodily injury or Property Damage. As such insurance provides the means to transfer risk away from our mutual organizations to avoid fiscal damage.
-
I am a small operation with just a few employees, why do I have to provide workers compensation coverage?
Short answer, it is the law. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system of benefits paid by employers to workers who experience work-related injuries or diseases. The Illinois Workers Compensation Commission, and other state agencies monitor the various Workers’ Compensation Acts.
-
I do not have any employees, why do I have to provide workers compensation coverage?
GC Realty and Development LLC is audited annually by our insurance carrier for any subcontractors that we hire. If a subcontract is unable to provide the required certificate showing general and employers liability (WC) we will be charged for your services on our insurance. As such, we require your organization to carry these coverages.
