Keep them classified as "general install technicians" that spend less than 10% of their time on a tower (which is true for most WISPs)
To have true workman's comp / insurance for full-time tower crews -- you're insurance bills will jump to the tens of thousands of $$$$ -Charles ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Wireless Roadshows Coming to a City Near You http://www.winog.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dylan Bouterse Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 7:25 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tower Climber Salary (insurance, etc.) If I could split off this topic to something very related. What insurance/workers comp are being held to legally employ climbers? I'm assuming two climbers minimum are on staff?
