Why this code and not another, what changes it, what to put on the form, audit risk — ask away.
How classification works
The client's business sets the code, not the job title
The rule that surprises most recruiters: with few exceptions, workers' comp classifies the client company's operations, not the associate's individual duties. A forklift operator placed at a bakery is classified under the bakery's code. This tool applies that rule, plus the four exceptions, the same way an underwriter will.
1
Clerical employees — 8810. Associates working in a company's office are separately classified as clerical.
2
Outside sales — 8742. Associates on the client's outside sales force are classified as salespersons.
3
Drivers — 7380. Associates driving a truck that delivers the client's product are classified as drivers.
4
Specific class rules. Some codes already include those employees (a bakery code includes its drivers), so the exceptions don't apply.
What you get
A best-guess primary code with confidence and plain-English rationale, the closest alternatives and when they'd apply instead, a note on your state's rating regime (NCCI, independent bureau, or monopolistic fund), risk flags an underwriter will ask about, and pointers for a clean submission.
Guidance only — the final class code is determined by the carrier at binding and audit.
