EXHIBIT "C"
WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE CERTIFICATION
Every employer, except the State, shall secure the payment of compensation in one or more of
the following ways:
(a) By being insured against liability to pay compensation by one or more insurers
duly authorized to write compensation insurance in this State.
(b) By securing from the Director of Industrial Relations, a certificate of consent to
self-insure, either as an individual employer, or as one employer in a group of
employers, which may be given upon furnishing proof satisfactory to the Director
of Industrial Relations of ability to self-insure and to pay any compensation that
may become due to his or her employees.
CHECK ONE
I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which requires every
employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-
insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and I will comply with such provisions
before commencing the performance of the work and activities required or permitted under this
Agreement. (Labor Code §1861).
I affirm that at all times, in performing the work and activities required or permitted under
this Agreement, I shall not employ any person in any manner such that I become subject to the
workers' compensation laws of California. However, at any time, if I employ any person such
that I become subject to the workers' compensation laws of California, immediately I shall
provide the City with a certificate of consent to self-insure, or a certification of workers'
compensation insurance.
I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the information
and representations made in this certificate are true and correct. G
