Workers' Compensation Coverage
Exemption Declaration
The undersigned (hereinafterreferred to as “I" or “Me”) hereby declares that the following is true and correct:

I am an individual or a company that has entered, or will be entering, into an agreement with the City of Bakersfield to provide goods or services.

I am familiar with the terms of said agreement which require Me to maintain workers' compensation coverage as required by California Law.

I am familiar with the workers' compensation laws of California (generally contained in section 3700 of the Labor Code), including those provisions which provide for specific exemptions from the requirement that all employers must carry workers' compensation insurance, and I am exempted under the law from the requirement to maintain workers’ compensation insurance coverage.

In addition, during the term of any work for the City of Bakersfield under said agreement, (i) I will not employ any person in any manner so as to become subject to the workers' compensation laws of California, or (ii) should I become subject to the worker's compensation provision of Section 3700 of the Labor Code for any reason, I shall forthwith comply with those provisions and send evidence of compliance to the City of Bakersfield.

Warning: In California, failure to secure workers’ compensation coverage is unlawful and shall subject an employer to criminal penalties and civil fines up to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). In addition to the cost of compensation, damages may be assessed as provided for in Section 3706 ofthe Labor Code, including, but not necessarily limited to, interest and attorney’s fees.
