On 4/17/20, the WCIRB put out the formal announcement which affirms earlier speculation. This is good news for our clients that have been impacted by the COVID-19 devastation.

-SUMMARY-

1. COVID claims will not impact the experience modification
   2. Payroll for employees staying at home, he WCIRB just put out the formal announcement which reaffirms our earlier email.  Please note the updated changes:
2. COVID claims will not impact the experience modification
   2. Payroll for employees staying at home, not working, but continuing to be paid, will be excluded from reportable payroll.
   3. Employees working from home can now be moved to class code 8810, clerical.

   California appears to be ahead of many other States for these changes, but we expect other States to follow suit rather quickly.
