NH workers’ compensation insurance rates are affected greatly by employee classifications, so ensuring that each of your employees is properly coded is crucial. Your business should have one primary classification. Outside sales, clerical employees and, in some states, drivers, need to be classified with a separate code.
When preparing for a workers’ comp audit, it’s important to understand that any items the auditor cannot classify quickly with a lower-rated code will remain in the governing code. This may result in charges due to the improper classification of employees who should be in standard class exemption groups common to all industries, such as clerical and outside sales. In addition, this may affect employees who could be considered for a lower industry code, including those in the manufacturing, retail and wholesale industries that all have multiple class codes. Auditors may also accidentally include corporate officers, who should be excluded, or may not remove excluded remunerations that should be deducted from payroll before calculating your premium liability.
Rely on Your Insurance Agent as a Resource
The improper classification of just one employee could cost your company hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, which is why it’s crucial to have an insurance agent that you can rely on to guide you through this process. A dependable and knowledgeable agent will take the time to analyze each of your employee’s job functions to ensure proper classification. With all of your employees properly coded, you can rest assured knowing that your business will receive the most accurate workers’ compensation insurance premium.
