By law, it's optional for sole proprietors. Reality can be different though. In the construction trades most general contractors will require any subs who are sole proprietors to have workmans comp. This is what their insurance companies require. If a sub doesn't have workmans comp the insurance company adds their wages to the gc's bill.

Only if it is legal in your jurisdiction.

Massachusetts Answer #2 You better check with workman's comp.

In this particular case, the company turned it in as workman's comp but it was refused.
