Industry-specific workers' comp audit prep guidance

Use these pages when the trade itself changes the audit pressure — subs, COIs, mixed duties, seasonal labor, or field-working owners. If the bigger question is who inside the business owns the work, start with the role pages instead.

Choose the right starting point by trade complexity

Choose the Construction Kit when

  • Subcontractors or 1099 labor are part of the audit story
  • COIs are a recurring tracking problem
  • Owner/officer support needs separate explanation
  • Job duties or mixed roles are likely to need notes

Choose the SMB Edition when

  • The audit is lighter overall
  • You mainly need checklist, reconciliation, and packet structure
  • Subcontractor proof is limited or not central
  • You want a lower-friction starting point

Need the document list before the product decision?

Start with the free checklist if you want the record scope first. Come back to the trade page when you need more specific guidance on how construction-heavy or service-light the file really is.
