Workers' compensation classes

Payroll uses workers' compensation classes to represent a rate and limit used to calculate workers' compensation premiums.

You associate a table of WC classes with specific information you want Payroll to use when it calculates WC premiums, such as:

  • Workers' compensation policy (U.S. only)

  • Workers' compensation process level

  • Workers' compensation state or province

    Note: The amount of wages and the wage limits can be defined for all classes on a table or for each individual class.
  • Amount of wages on which the workers' compensation premium is based

  • Annual or monthly limits of accessible wages for workers' compensation

You must assign workers' compensation classes to job codes or Payroll cannot determine the wages on which to calculate premiums.
