What Code 8017 Covers
Code 8017 is the standard retail store classification. It covers sales associates, cashiers, and general retail floor workers. The rate is relatively low because retail work is lower-risk than construction or manufacturing.
Common Misclassification Issues
Retail businesses with warehouse operations or delivery services may have all staff coded under 8017 when warehouse and delivery workers should have separate (higher) codes — or vice versa, where office staff are coded under a warehouse code.
How This Affects Your Premium
At $1.28 per $100 of payroll, an employee earning $50,000/year classified under code 8017 adds approximately $640 to your annual premium. If that employee should actually be in a lower-rate code like 8810 (clerical at $0.16/$100), you'd save approximately $560 per employee per year.
Multiply that by every misclassified employee, and the overpayment adds up fast.
