PR18


PR18.1 - US Workers Compensation Classification

Use PR18.1 (Workers Compensation Classification) to define workers'
compensation classes and associate each class with an experience rating. You
can define different experience rates for the same workers' compensation class
for specific states, process levels or effective date. The tables you define
in this form serve two main purposes in the Payroll system; to calculate
premiums, and post workers' compensation expenses to the general ledger.

PR278 (Workers Compensation Report) uses tables defined in this form to
calculate premiums for each workers' compensation class.

PR140 (Earnings and Deductions Calculation) uses tables defined in this form
to calculate the premiums for each workers' compensation class and posts
workers' compensation expenses to the general ledger through deductions
defined with Yes in the WC Rate Table field.
