What this issue means
No workers compensation policy appears on the certificate, and your program requires WC evidence for this vendor.
Why it matters for mobilization
Workplace injuries without WC coverage can become your organization liability on the jobsite.
How to resolve it
Require statutory workers compensation, a written no-employees affidavit where permitted by state law, or acceptable alternate documentation such as a state fund certificate or monopolistic-state proof. Ask the broker to reissue if a standard private-carrier line should appear.
When approval should be blocked
Do not mobilize vendors with employees until workers comp is verified or a valid exemption is documented.
Recommended next step
Request updated Workers Compensation documentation before approving vendor.
