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
ZI 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.
