Liability coverage
(OP)
For a newly licensed engineer, do you have to fill out some kind of paperwork to be placed under company's professional insurance? Or the fact that you are licensed and sealing calcs/drawings officially for the company enough to assume your work is covered by company insurance?

Of course, this also means that any work you do outside of your company will probably be on your own risk so be carefull when considering those side jobs (and they will come up at some point).

Thanks for the input. I figured that as long as you were sealing a job for the company, you would be covered by the company insurance but wanted to double check still.

In general, individuals are usually covered by the firm's policy, but keep in mind that engineers can be sued separately from their corporate entity in many states.
