Workers' Compensation Class Codes Related to Clerical Offices
Employees are grouped into classification codes based on what they do for their job. The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) currently utilizes nearly 800 class codes to help insurance companies categorize employees. Insurance companies create a manual rate for each class code in order to price a policy.
Properly classifying workers is an important part of the quote process. Mis-classified employers may end up paying too much for coverage or owing too much after an audit.
Workers Comp Code 8810
Office and Professiona
Businesses primarily engaged in performing clerical functions within an office setting. Employees are unlikely to travel for the job and spend the majority of time doing computer work or answering calls or questions. Class code is a broad class that encompasses most professional office staff unless they are classified under a specific alternate class code
Most businesses will typically have one or more employees who fall under the clerical classification. It is very common to see a few office-only staff associated with most types of businesses. These individuals may answer phone calls, enter orders, and dispatch service technicians from a cental office or location.
Professional employees that engage in outside sales will normally be classified in a slightly more expensive class code- 8742. Employees that utilize a company vehicle or drive their own vehicle as part of the job will typically fall under class code 8742.
Alternative State Class Codes for Office:
Sometimes a state will deviate from the industry class code recommended by NCCI. Instead of the NCCI code, they may require the utilization of a state specific class code for certain business segments.

- Incidents resulting from employees' use fo drugs or alcohol
- Injuries that did not occur in connection with the job
- Clear company policy violations
- Injuries that did not occur in connection with the job
