Clock is About Run Out For Decktech...License To be Suspended at 12:01 AM 11/4/15 if Workers Comp Policy Isn't Filed

Due diligence is always required when hiring and working with contractors. That's why it's important that consumers are aware that as of 12:01 am tonight, unless Decktech has filed a workers compensation policy with the CSLB, their license will be suspended.

It certainly is possible that the workers comp insurer files a certificate with the CSLB today, thereby averting the automatic suspension. It is a violation of license laws in California for an employer to have workers without covering them with workers compensation insurance.

Well, stand by and check the CSLB website for updates on their license...

If you see Decktech working tomorrow and have determined that their license is in fact suspended, you can file a complaint with the SWIFT team of CSLB that will come and check a jobsite. Find more info here at this link http://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Report_Unlicensed_Activity/

In 2013 DeckTech's license was suspended for lack of workers comp insurance. 

Suspended in early 2015 after a claim against their bond was paid by the Bonding Company, they weren't paid back until after CSLB suspended DechTech's license. CSLB is currently investigating whether DeckTech employees were working on the days the license was suspended. Evidence we provided CSLB seems to show they were...
