In this episode you will learn: - That workers' comp premium is based on payroll per $100, which is then multiplied by a specific job classification rate. - How the Experience Modification Rate (EMR) acts as a multiplier, rewarding safer companies with lower premiums and penalizing riskier ones. - Why a final premium audit is conducted to reconcile estimated payroll with actual payroll, which can result in additional premiums or a refund. - The exam trap that an employee's entire payroll may be assigned to a high-risk classification, even if they only perform those hazardous duties part-time. - How businesses become liable for covering uninsured subcontractors, requiring the inclusion of the subcontractor's payroll in their own premium calculations.
