Menu Path
From the Human Resources menu, select Reports. From the Payroll menu, select Workers' Comp Rate Study.
Workers' Compensation Premiums
Every time you calculate a payroll, the system references employees' Pay Code records to see if the gross wages are subject to Workers' Compensation. If so, the system references the assigned Job Class records to determine the Workers' Compensation job category that applies for allocating employer-paid premiums.
The system stores the gross wage amounts in an internal file by department under the proper Workers' Compensation category. The file accumulates the gross wage and category data until you run the Payroll Database menu's Clear Workers' Comp Files option.
If you want your Workers' Comp Rate Study report to reflect monthly gross wages, you must clear the file after the last payroll of a month and before generating the first payroll for the next month. Otherwise, the report shows the cumulative amounts since the last time this information was cleared.
For additional information on Workers' Compensation, refer to Workers' Comp Distribution and Workers' Compensation Table.
