What Code 8810 Covers
Code 8810 is the most common workers comp classification in America — and one of the most misapplied. It covers employees whose duties are exclusively clerical: typing, data entry, phone work, filing, and similar office tasks. The key word is 'exclusively.' If an employee coded as 8810 does ANY manual work, delivery, or field visits, they should be in a different (higher-rate) classification. Conversely, many businesses have office staff coded under their governing class instead of 8810, which means they're overpaying.
Common Misclassification Issues
Office staff coded under governing class (construction, restaurant, etc.) instead of 8810. This is the single most common source of overpayment.
How This Affects Your Premium
At $0.16 per $100 of payroll, an employee earning $50,000/year classified under code 8810 adds approximately $80 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 $0 per employee per year.
Multiply that by every misclassified employee, and the overpayment adds up fast.
