COVID Could Cause Huge Audit Nightmares: Be Prepared

• NCCI has introduced workers compensation class code 0012 for paid furloughed employees.
• Some carriers have added this class code to their monthly self-reporting portals.
• If an employer has paid furloughed employees, as of 3/2/2020, they should be separating payrolls accordingly and be prepared to provide these payrolls to their workers compensation auditor.
• If the payroll has not been properly separated, the auditor will assign payroll to the governing class code.
• If an employee performs duties for their employer at any time, they are not deemed a paid furloughed employee for the time they perform these duties and the corresponding payroll will be assigned to the appropriate class code
• If an employee’s duties have changed due to CV-19 (I.E. a waiter changes to a delivery driver) a new class code will apply
