WC Class Codes & EMR
We assign class codes by actual employee function, not just job title, then layer in claims management and return-to-work programs that drive your experience mod down inside 18 months.
Every class code audited against actual function. Every open claim tracked to closure by a single assigned specialist.
What you're exposed to One missed class-code audit triggers a 3-year retroactive premium recalc . Typical adjustment $40K–$200K for a 50-employee contractor.
In practice "Your EMR is a number I watch every month. Your broker probably doesn't." Rick, Workers' Comp Specialist
Multi-State Crews
We handle reciprocity, state withholding, and registrations in all 50 states, and our master workers' comp policy follows your crews across state lines so coverage never gaps mid-project.
All 50 states covered. Zero separate registrations for you to maintain.
What you're exposed to State penalty for unregistered employment averages $5K–$50K per state per year + back withholding + interest. A 5-state contractor missed on one = $250K+ exposure.

Zero DOL findings on certified payroll audits across the client base.

OSHA Recordkeeping
Our compliance team owns the 300 log, 301 incident reports, annual 300A summary, and electronic submission deadlines, and surfaces injury trends before an OSHA inspector finds them.
Bid-eligible safety records maintained across every jobsite. Every recordable logged, every 300A filed on time.
What you're exposed to OSHA serious-violation max: $16,550/violation (2024). Willful/repeat: $165,514 each. Uncorrected failure: $16,550/day.
In practice "We were one uncorrected violation away from a stop-work order. Jennifer rebuilt our 300 logs, retrained the PMs, and we closed out clean." W.T., Site Superintendent, 65-employee Utah GC
Seasonal Crew Ramp-Ups
Digital onboarding processes I-9, safety acknowledgments, and equipment assignments in hours instead of days, and our team manages unemployment claim responses to protect your SUTA rate when projects wrap.
Hours, not days to onboard a 40-person crew at peak ramp. Every UI claim responded to within statutory windows.
What you're exposed to Stacked ACA exposure on seasonal crews: $2,970/employee/month. Sloppy offboarding drives your SUTA rate up 1% = $10K/year on $1M wages.

How we solve this →Crews move across state lines weekly. Each state has different withholding rules, workers' comp requirements, and registration obligations. Miss one and you are operating illegally.
How we solve this →Construction class codes change by trade, by project, and by employee function. A roofer misclassified as general labor means incorrect premiums and denied claims.
How we solve this →OSHA 300 logs, incident reporting within 8/24 hours, annual summaries, and electronic submissions. Construction has the highest fatality rate of any industry. Records must be flawless.
How we solve this →Headcount can double in spring and halve in winter. Rapid onboarding, seasonal benefits management, and unemployment cost control are constant operational challenges.
How we solve this →The most common questions we get from general contractors, specialty trade owners, and construction company operators.
Yes. Construction companies. From specialty trade subcontractors to multi-state general contractors. Use PEOs to manage certified payroll, workers’ comp, multi-state withholding, and employment compliance. The co-employment structure works with union and non-union workforces, prevailing wage jobs, and commercial and residential operations.
Certified payroll requires submitting WH-347 reports showing that every worker on a prevailing wage job was paid the correct wage rate, fringe benefits, and overtime. VertiSource generates WH-347 reports directly from your payroll data, eliminating manual re-entry and calculation errors. Each report is reviewed before submission and archived for DOL audit requests.
Construction workers’ comp requires accurate class code assignment for each employee based on their actual job duties. A framing carpenter carries a different rate than a project manager. We maintain current class codes for all your trades, adjust codes when workers change roles, and run experience modification factor analysis to identify premium reduction opportunities.
Yes. Construction crews frequently cross state lines for projects, creating withholding, registration, and reporting obligations in each state. We handle multi-state withholding calculations, reciprocity agreements, and state-specific new hire reporting for every jurisdiction where your crews work. You don't need to register separately in each state. We manage that process.
OSHA requires construction employers to maintain accurate injury and illness logs (OSHA 300), post annual summaries (OSHA 300A), and file electronic reports for establishments over 20 employees. We maintain your OSHA logs, track recordable incidents, calculate your DART and TRIR rates, and ensure your annual filings are submitted on time. Accurate recordkeeping directly supports your experience modification factor and your ability to bid on safety-conscious projects.
