Creating U.S. workers' compensation reports

You create workers' compensation reports to submit to your insurance company so the company can determine the amount of premiums you owe; or, if you are self-insured, you create reports to compare what Payroll would have calculated for premiums versus what you paid out in claims.

Before you create U.S. workers' compensation reports, you must define WC policies and classes, assign WC classes to job codes, and run at least one payroll cycle.

Create workers' compensation reports

Access US Workers' Compensation Report (PR278).
Define report selection. Specify this information:

Policy

The policy code, assigned to the workers' compensation plan, for which you want to run the report.

Date

The date range for payment records you want to include in the calculation of workers' compensation premiums.

Pay Class

To calculate workers' compensation premiums on the basis of a specific pay class, select a pay class.

Note: If you are self-insured, select the pay class that represents the appropriate mix of hours and wages. If you do not select a pay class, Payroll calculates premiums on all wages—even those for time not worked.

Workers Compensation State

The state in which the workers' compensation policy is effective.

Process Level

Select a process level to calculate workers' compensation premiums for a specific process level.
Define report run options. Specify this information:

Current Workers Compensation Class

Determines if workers' compensation premiums are calculated using WC classes on employees' current job codes or WC classes on employees' job codes at the time payment was issued.

Report Option

Determines the sort order of the report.

Summary Option

Determines the level of detail that prints on the report.

Employee Sequence

Determines if the report prints in employee number order, or alphabetically by employee name.

Page Break by State
