How do I add a WC class code to a state?

The workers compensation class code is linked to a rate assigned by the state. The state uses statistics to determine the frequency of injury or severity of injury associated with the employees employed in jobs in the class code. The class code expresses the expected risk of injury or severity of injury as a variable in the formula for calculating the workers compensation premium on a class code. Contact the state's workers compensation department to identify the workers compensation class codes for the state you are setting up.
