Dubious checks lead to insurance bill

[This post was moved from THIS TOPIC which was running last year-JT]

interesting reading – our Strata Plan has been ‘billed’ $199.00 for someone in the Risk Dept of the Strata Manager to go through our accounts to see if we need to have (icare workers comp policy) – the Risk Dept has decided we do – so they billed our Strata Plan (and took the money 199.00) – then we see we have a bill from icare for $175.00 for Workers Compensation Policy.

the risk dept says we have had more than 7,500 in bills from contractors (?) to our property…  So the committee has just sent an email asking for ‘proof’ that there is ’employees / contractors’ to the property.  

i would have thought that most of our ‘contractors / trades’ would have been vetted by our Strata Manager for Pub Liability and Workers Comp as we 95% of the time take their recommendations of trades people.  To put it mildly we are most annoyed.  As we believe that our trades supplied have the right credentials.  

Where in the Strata Management Act does it say we have to have work cover??
