    Default Contracting and insurance

    Hey everyone,

    I've been offered a contract and was told that as I am not full-time staff I need contractor insurance. The recruitment agency has offered to take this out of my pay at the rate of $1 per hour. I guess it is not a huge amount but will add up over 6 months. Does anyone know whether there is a better way?

    Thanks

    It is not usually a legal requirement to be insured, though depending on the type of work you do it can be advisable.
    When I have been required to have the insurance I found it cheaper through the agency than my insurance broker.
    I would contact a few insurance brokers to have a comparison.
