Before you can specify all of the information that is required for Workers'
Compensation about an employee injury, you must set up information on
several forms.
-
On the Tax Parameters form, specify
the appropriate WC Industry Classification
Code and description. This code is assigned to your general
industry by NCCI.
-
On the Deduction and Earning Codes
form, specify the appropriate WC Class Code
and description for each workers' compensation D&E code that has
been defined. The class description can include the employee position
to which the code applies.
-
On the Prov/States form, specify
this information for each province or state where worker injuries
could occur or be treated. You can usually obtain these codes from
the web site of the state bureau of workers' compensation.
- Workers' Comp Abbreviation
- Specify the official abbreviation for the state or province, as
determined by the workers' compensation authority.
- Workers' Comp State Code
- Specify the official numeric code for the state or province, as
determined by the workers' compensation authority.
- Workers' Comp Jurisdiction Code
- Specify the official jurisdiction code for the state or province,
if applicable, as determined by the workers' compensation authority.
-
On the Workers' Compensation Authorities
form, verify that the appropriate authorities are listed. If not,
add them.
-
On the Workers' Compensation Data Collection
Organizations form, specify this information about all data
collection organizations to which you must report workers' compensation
claims. Data collection organizations, or DCOs, are usually specific
to certain states, and can include insurers and state agencies.

the data, and a longer description of the organization.

- Reporting Required
- Select this field if it is mandatory to report to this DCO. If this
field is selected, the authority name is always shown on the Employee Injuries form.
-
Specify contact information about each insurer on the Workers'
Compensation Insurers form. An insurer is the company that
holds the workers' compensation insurance policy for your company.
-
On the Workers' Compensation Policies
form, specify information about each workers' compensation insurance
policy that your company carries.
-
These forms contain predefined workers' compensation injury codes,
as defined by IAIABC.
If additional codes are required, add them on these forms.
