Workers' Compensation Codes Related to Child Care

Employees are grouped into classification codes based on their job duties and work functions. The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) currently utilizes nearly 800 class codes to help insurance companies and agents categorize employees for rating purposes. Insurance companies set a base manual rate for each class code in order to begin pricing a policy.

Properly classifying workers is an important part of the quote process. Mis-classified employees can cost small businesses thousands of dollars. You could end up paying too much for coverage or owing more money after an annual audit.

Class Code 8869 | Child Care Insurance

Daycare businesses are primarily engaged in providing care for pre-school and school aged children. Services may be provided in a commercial building or a caregivers' home. A child care provider assumes the care, custody and control of a child for a set amount of time. Children may either be dropped at the facility or transported by the daycare provider. Meals, naps and recreational activities are common with child care. Some providers such as Montessori schools also provide various educational instruction.

In the event a child care center utilizes its own vehicles and drivers, drivers should be separately rated under class code 7380- Drivers and Chauffeurs.

Child day camps also fall under class code 8869 as long as operations do not include overnight accommodations. Overnight recreational camps, such as children adventure camps and vacation camps, generally fall under class code 9015- Camp Operations.

Adult daycare and senior care services should be separately rated under class codes 8868 and 9101-School Employees.

Alternative State Class Codes for Day Care Facilities:

Sometimes a state will deviate from the industry class code recommended by NCCI. Instead of the NCCI code, they may require the utilization of a state specific class code for certain business segments.

9059 | Day Care Services California
891 | Child Day Care Delaware / Pennsylvania
8868 | Child Care Center Michigan / New Jersey / New York

What Does Workers' Comp Cover?

What does workers comp cover?

Workers' comp coverage protects employees when injured. It makes good financial sense for both parties.

Injuries and accidents happen. A workers' comp policy is a no-fault system that pays for these accidents and claims. It's required by law in most states.
  • Loss of income for employees unable to perform job duties
  • Medical expenses for employees injured on the job
  • Retraining expenses for employees unable to return
  • Permanent injury or disability for lasting injuries
  • Survivor benefits if employees are killed on the job

Coverage does not protect employers from everything. Sometimes employees and employers can be negligent.

Workmans comp does not cover negligence
In some instances, workers' compensation coverage will not protect employers or employees from the legal liability resulting from a workplace injury.
  • Injuries resulting from a violation of the law
  • Incidents resulting from employees' use fo drugs or alcohol
  • Injuries that did not occur in connection with the job
  • Clear company policy violations
  • Injuries that did not occur in connection with the job
