Workers' Compensation Codes

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to define workers' compensation codes and descriptions.

Workers' compensation is an insurance benefit available to employees if they get sick or injured on the job. Employers pay for this insurance, and the coverage protects their employees.

If you choose not to use this screen, you must create at least one code because this field is required on each timesheet line.  In this case, you might create the code "None" or "Blank," for example.

In order to change the workers' compensation data on the timesheet, you must have selected the Allow Change on Timesheet checkbox in the Workers' Compensation group box of the Labor Settings screen.

When should I use this screen?

You must set up workers' compensation codes before saving records in the Enter Timesheets screen.  In order to select a workers' compensation code in the Defaults group box of the Labor Settings screen, you must create at least one record in the Workers' Compensation Codes screen.

FAQs

Can I change or delete workers' compensation codes from this screen?

After you have saved a record, the Description, you can edit the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Code, and SIC (Standard Industrial Code)fields, even if you have assigned this workers' compensation code to an existing Costpoint record.  You cannot, however, modify text in the Workers' Comp Code field. This field is non-editable.

If you have not assigned a workers' compensation code to an existing Costpoint record, you can delete the code from this screen. You cannot delete the code from this screen if it has been assigned to a record because dependent data exists.

Field Descriptions

Workers' Comp Code *

Enter up to six alphanumeric characters to identify the workers' compensation code. Each code must be unique.

Although this code is user-defined, the first four characters are intended to match the pre-designated four-character National Workers' Compensation Code. You can use the last two characters to further define the national code, if desired.

Description *

Enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters to describe the workers' compensation code.

NAICS Code

Enter up to six alphanumeric characters to identify the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code.

This column is required for CTS's (Ceridian Tax Service) Wyoming wage reporting. When you create the CTS quarterly tax file in the Export CTS W-2 File screen, this value will be included in any Wyoming wage list reporting records.

SIC Code

Enter the SIC (Standard Industrial Code) that applies to the workers' compensation code.

This field is required if you are using the Export CTS Tax File to report Wyoming State Unemployment information.

Note:  Since the Labor Settings screen is not available in this web version, you must make settings changes in the client/server version.  

After you complete your settings modifications, you must return to the web version and access the Reload Global Settings screen (Administration\Utilities\System Administration\Reload Global Settings). This utility establishes continuity between the web and client/server environments.

Select the appropriate checkbox and click the Action icon to execute synchronization.

* A red asterisk denotes a required field.
