Frequently asked questions

Do Camden County contractors need workers’ comp?

Yes — New Jersey requires workers’ compensation for every employer with employees, no minimum headcount, and penalties can reach corporate officers personally. NJ rates run through NJCRIB rather than the national NCCI system.

Can I get a certificate of insurance the same day in Camden County?

Usually yes — most policies we place can issue certificates naming your GC, the township, or a property owner as additional insured the day you bind coverage.
