Payroll can link an employee's allocated wages to a worker's compensation code. Worker's compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for other considerations. Since different employees may have different workers compensation codes, you can assign workers compensation codes to an employee based on the employee's position.

Caselle does not have any information on workers compensation codes for each state. You'll need to contact the organization's workers compensation provider to request this information.
