Can I require customers to sign liability waivers in Utah? What are the requirements?

Liability Waivers in Utah

In Utah, employers may require employees to sign liability waivers upon returning to work. However, signing a liability waiver does not prevent an employee from filing a complaint [4].

Regarding customers, there are no specific laws in Utah that prohibit businesses from requiring customers to sign liability waivers. However, the enforceability of such waivers may depend on the specific circumstances of the case [4].

Workers’ Compensation Coverage in Utah

With few exceptions, Utah employers are required to maintain workers’ compensation insurance coverage [3]. Partnerships with no employees other than the partners are exempt from this requirement. Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are treated as partnerships, and as such, the members of an LLC may also be exempt from the requirement to maintain workers’ compensation insurance coverage [1].

Withholding Tax for Utah Pass-through Entities

Pass-through entities in Utah, such as partnerships, may be required to withhold Utah tax for Utah resident partners [2]. However, Partnership D may apply for a waiver of withholding on the Utah resident partners [2].

Therefore, while there are no specific laws in Utah that prohibit businesses from requiring customers to sign liability waivers, the enforceability of such waivers may depend on the specific circumstances of the case. Employers in Utah are generally required to maintain workers’ compensation insurance coverage, but partnerships with no employees other than the partners and LLCs may be exempt from this requirement. Pass-through entities in Utah may be required to withhold Utah tax for Utah resident partners, but they may also apply for a waiver of withholding on the Utah resident partners.
