Workers' Compensation Made Simple
How are rates determined?
Manual Rating - Also called the “Pure Premium Rate,” this rate is
applied to all industries of the same type or standard industrial
classification (SIC). Expressed as:
Dollars per $100 dollars of payroll
Example: $3.15 per $100 dollars of payroll.
Experience Rating - used to vary the company’s own rates,
depending on its experience by comparing actual losses with
expected losses.
