Contractors Can Split Workers Comp Payrolls

An Excerpt From My Book, Simmonds on Workers' Compensation Insurance:

The workers' compensation insurance rules for most employers do not allow an individual employee to be divided up into different categories. For example, a restaurant employee who also delivers orders cannot have part of his payroll assigned to the restaurant code and the rest to the drivers code.

Contractors, however can split an employee's payroll into separate employment codes. So, an employee who works as a carpenter and also does painting can be placed in two different classes, and therefore, you pay two different rates.

Contracting companies must keep detailed records to allocate payrolls.

Talk with your insurance advisor.
