Montana Title 39. Labor § 39-71-418. Suspension or revocation of independent contractor exemption certificate

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) The department may suspend an independent contractor exemption certificate for a specific business relationship if the department determines that the employing unit exerts or retains a right of control to a degree that causes a certificate holder to violate the provisions of 39-71-417(4).

(2) The department may revoke an independent contractor exemption certificate after determining that the certificate holder:

(a) made misrepresentations in the application affidavit or certificate renewal form;

(b) altered or amended the application form, the renewal application form, other supporting documentation required by the department, or the independent contractor exemption certificate;

(c) failed to cooperate with the department in providing information relevant to the continued validity of the holder's certificate; or

(d) does not have an independently established business as required by 39-71-417(4).

(3) A decision by the department to suspend or revoke an independent contractor exemption certificate takes effect upon issuance of the decision. Suspension or revocation of the independent contractor exemption certificate does not invalidate the certificate holder's waiver of the rights and benefits of the Workers' Compensation Act for the period prior to notice to the hiring agent by the department of the department's decision to suspend or revoke the independent contractor exemption certificate.

(4) A decision by the department's independent contractor central unit to suspend or revoke an independent contractor exemption certificate may be contested in the same manner as provided in 39-71-415(2).
