John,

keep making sure everyone else has the workers comp but miss it myself. Let me know if we need anything else to
move that contract on.

Subject: RE: FW: Certificate of Insurance
Deven,
I am exempt from workers compensation as I have no employees. The "Associates" in
my company name was put there when I didn't really know what business model I would
pursue exactly, but I am committed to not hiring employees. I have, on occasion, such
as on this contract, engaged a subcontractor (Associates), but even that is rare, and
subcontractors do not subject me to workers compensation requirements. I hope this
clarifies the situation.
Best regards,
