About split rates for workers' compensation
In a split rate system for Workers’ Compensation, a category of work uses two different rates. Some states, such as California, use a two-tiered system of rates based on employee pay. The wages an employee earns determines the rate at which the insurance company computes Workers’ Compensation.
Each rate uses a different code. Enter each rate on a separate line in the 5-3-2 Workers’ Compensation window. It is a good idea to also include the wage cutoff point in the description.
Suppose you are entering the split rates for electrical and concrete work. Enter each compensation code as a separate line. In the description, include the wage cutoff.
