Where do I get information regarding the Independent Contractor Exemption Certificate (ICEC)?
Effective January 1, 2009, a new state law requires individuals (not corporations, LLCs or partnerships) who work as independent contractors in the building construction industry to obtain from the Department of Labor and Industry an Independent Contractor Exemption Certificate (ICEC). For purposes of the state’s workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, wage and hour, and occupational safety and health laws, individuals doing building construction work without an ICEC will be employees of the contractor for whom they are working.
