POLICYHOLDER NOTICE <br /> PAYROLL RECORD AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR <br /> DUAL WAGE CONSTRUCTION OR ERECTION CLASSIFICATIONS <br /> Your policy includes one or more construction or erection classifications. Dual wage classifications are pairs of <br /> classifications that describe the same construction or erection operation yet are assigned based upon whether the <br /> employee's hourly wage is above or below a specified threshold. Each pair of dual wage classifications contains one"high <br /> wage" classification that is assignable to payrolls earned by employees whose regular hourly wage equals or exceeds a <br /> specified wage threshold and one "low wage" classification that is assignable to payrolls earned by employees whose <br /> regular hourly wage is less than the specified threshold. <br /> Payroll Record Requirements <br /> The assignment of a high wage classification is contingent on verifying that the employee's hourly wage equals or <br /> exceeds the specified wage threshold. The determination of the regular hourly wage for any non-salaried employee must <br /> be supported by one of the following sources: <br /> o Original time cards or time book entries for each employee. Original records must include the operations <br /> performed, the total hours worked each day and the times the employee started and ended each work period <br /> throughout the workday. At job locations where all of the employer's operations cease for a uniform unpaid <br /> meal period, recording the start and stop times of the uniform break period is not required. <br /> o A valid collective bargaining agreement that shows the regular hourly wage rate by job classification of a <br /> worker. If using a collective bargaining agreement, the records must include an employee roster by job <br /> classification that permits the reconciliation of individual employees to the job classifications set forth in the <br /> collective bargaining agreement. <br /> The non-salaried employee's regular hourly wage shall be determined by dividing that employee's total remuneration by <br /> the hours worked during the pay period, irrespective of whether the employee is paid on an hourly, piecework, production <br /> or commission basis. <br /> The payroll earned by any non-salaried employees for whom the records specified above are not maintained and/or made <br /> available will be assigned to the low wage classification that describes the operations performed. <br /> The regular hourly wage of salaried employees is determined by dividing the total annual remuneration by 2000 hours. If <br /> an employee is salaried for less than 12 months, the regular hourly wage for the salaried period is calculated on a <br /> prorated basis. <br /> ,Audit Requirements <br /> If your policy has an effective date on or after January 1, 2020 and produces a final premium of $10,500 or more, a <br /> physical audit is required at least once a year; if it produces a final premium of less than $10,500 and develops payroll in a <br /> high wage classification, a physical audit of the policy is required unless the policy is a renewal and a physical audit was <br /> completed for one of the two immediately preceding policy periods. A "physical audit" is defined as an audit of payroll, <br /> whether conducted at the policyholder's location or at a remote site, that is based upon an auditor's examination of the <br /> policyholder's books of accounts and original payroll records (in either electronic or hard copy form) as necessary to <br /> determine and verify the exposure amounts by classification. <br /> If you hold a C-39 Roofing Contractor license from the California Contractors State License Board, a physical audit is <br /> required on the complete policy period of each policy regardless of the amount of final premium. See California Insurance <br /> Code Section 11665(a)for additional requirements regarding the audit of C-39 license holders. <br /> Form PN 04 99 06 D Printed in U.S.A. <br />
