Workers’ Compensation Premium Audit Tips

At the end of every workers' compensation policy period, insurance carriers conduct audits to ensure that paid premiums accurately reflected a business’s operations over the duration of the policy period. This is necessary, because premiums paid at the beginning of the policy period are only estimates based on projected payroll and assigned employee classification codes.a group of people posing for the camera

These audits can be done by phone, mail or in person, depending on the assigned auditor. Workers’ compensation premium audits are very common and, once completed, can indicate if any additional premium is owed, or if any credits need to be returned or applied to the next policy. Some business owners select “pay as you go” workers’ compensation policies to help reduce their exposure to large audit balances. Premiums for these types of policies are based on actual payroll and are reported/paid in real time, contrary to that of traditional estimated programs.

To give your company the best chance of receiving a returned premium credit, it is critical to maintain proper recordkeeping.

Other important items to note include:

·        Payments to paid furloughed employees—If you have continued paying employees to stay home and not work while your business operations have been suspended because of a federal, state or local emergency order, you need to identify the wages your company has paid to furloughed employees and provide them to your auditor during your audit.

·        Temporary changes in your business operations—If you temporarily change your operations because of a federal, state or local emergency order, you must identify these changes. Such operational adjustments may affect the rating and classifications on your policy.

·        Employees working from home or being assigned different job duties—If your employees are temporarily being paid to work from home or have been assigned different job duties, you must note this on your payroll records and provide these new duties to your auditor.

It is in your best interest to know your workers’ compensation classification codes, payroll and subcontractor payments prior to any audit. For more information on how to prepare for workers’ compensation audits, contact us today.
