1997 Minnesota Statutes

     79.211 Certain premium determination practices. 

    Subdivision 1.    Certain wages included for ratemaking. 
  The rating association or an insurer shall include wages paid 
 for a vacation, holiday, or sick leave in the determination of a 
 workers' compensation insurance premium. 

    An insurer, including the assigned risk plan, shall not 
 include wages paid for work performed in an adjacent state in 
 the determination of a workers' compensation premium if the 
 employer paid a workers' compensation insurance premium to the 
 exclusive state fund of the adjacent state on the wages earned 
 in the adjacent state. 

    Within 30 days of October 1, 1995, a licensed data service 
 organization on behalf of its members shall file an amendment to 
 its charged class premium rates to reflect the inclusion of 
 vacation, holiday, and sick leave wages in the determination of 
 premium.  Within 30 days of the filing of those pure premium 
 rates each insurer shall amend its filed schedule of rates to 
 reflect the inclusion of vacation, holiday, and sick leave wages 
 in the determination of premium.  

    Subd. 2.    Division of payroll.  An insurer shall 
 permit an employer to divide a payroll among the rating 
 classifications most closely fitting the work actually performed 
 by each employee in a four-hour block or more for purposes of 
 premium calculation when the employer's records provide adequate 
 support for a division. 

    Subd. 3.    Payroll computations for certain public 
 employees.  The commissioner of commerce in setting the 
 assigned risk plan rates or an insurer shall compute a premium 
 for an elected or appointed official of a town based on the 
 actual annual wage received from the town.
