In an effort to keep you informed, so that you can begin to plan your 2018 budget, we wanted to let you know of a potential change in the dual wage classes, for many but not all, the dual wage construction class codes.

The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau is proposing increases in the wage threshold for ten different construction industry dual wage classifications and is likely to recommend an increase in an eleventh, by the time it releases its 2018 regulatory filing, next month. The proposed increases range from $1.00 to $2.00 per hour, to keep the thresholds in line with wage inflation. See the chart below for the actual changes.

Rancho Mesa will keep you informed should the proposed 2018 change go into effect.  If you have any questions, please give us a call at (619) 937-0164.
