BASIC GUIDELINES FOR ASSIGNING CLASSIFICATIONS Generally, it is the business of the employer that is classified, not the separate employments, occupations or operations within the business. The governing classification at a specific job or location is the classification, other than a standard exception classification, that produces the greatest amount of payroll. (These guidelines are intended to be used only for reporting payroll to the Va. Workers222 Compensation Commission. Instructions for any other workers222 compensation classification program may be obtained from NCCI.) EXPLANATION OF CLASSIFICATIONS 1. Basic Classifications - All classifications are basic classifications other than the standard exception classifications. Basic classifications describe the business of an employer, such as: Business Classifications Manufacture of a Product Furniture Mfg. A process Engraving A General Type or Character Of Business Hardware Store A Service Package Delivery 2. Standard Exception Classifications - Employees within the definition of a standard exception classification are not included in a basic classification unless the basic classification specifically includes those employees. The standard exception classifications are defined below: a. Clerical Office Employees-Code 8810 - This classification applies only to employees who work in areas physically separated from other operations by structural partitions and in which work of clerical office employees as defined in this rule is performed exclusively. If such an employee has any other duty, the total payroll of that employee shall be assigned to the highest rated classification of operations to which the employee is exposed. b. Drivers, Chauffeurs and Their Helpers-Code 7380 - employees engaged in such duties on or in connection with a vehicle. This classification includes garage employees and employees using bicycles in their operations. c. Salesperson, Collectors or Messengers-Outside-Code 8742 - are employees engaged in such duties away from the employer222s premises. Not for employees who deliver merchandise. Employees who deliver merchandise shall be assigned to the classification applicable in that risk to drivers even though they also collect or sell. 3. General Inclusions - Some operations appear to be separate businesses, but they are included within the scope of all classifications other than the standard exception classifications. These operations are called general inclusions and are: a. Commissaries and restaurants for the company222s employees.

General Exclusions - Some operations in a business are so unusual that they are excluded from basic classifications. They are classified separately unless specifically included in the basic classification wording. These are: a. Aircraft operation - All operations of the flying and ground crews.

Business Not Described by a Manual Classification If there is no classification which describes the business, the classification which most closely describes the business shall be assigned. 4.
