Exemption from Workers’ Compensation
Before the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) can issue a new license or reinstate, reactivate, or renew an existing license, the applicant or licensee must have on file a Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Insurance or a Certificate of Self-Insurance issued by the Director of Industrial Relations, or must obtain an exemption by completing and submitting this form.
To be exempt from workers’ compensation, an applicant or licensee must submit this form to CSLB, certifying under penalty of perjury that he or she does not employ anyone in a manner that is subject to the workers’ compensation laws of California. (See Business and Professions Code Section 7125.)
DO NOT SUBMIT THIS FORM IF:
You have an inactive license.
The license qualifier is a Responsible Managing Employee (RME).
You hold a C-39 Roofing classification – all contractors with a C-39 Roofing classification are required by Section 7125 to have a Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Insurance or a Certificate of Self-Insurance on file with the Board. Contractors with a C-39
Roofing classification are not eligible for exemption from workers’ compensation.
You have employees.
