Workers’ Compensation Employer Payroll and Penalty Rule Hearing Report: January 22

Jan 23, 2009

On Thursday, January 22, 2009, the Florida Department of Financial Services (“Department”), Division of Workers’ Compensation had scheduled a hearing regarding the following Rules related to employer procedures for imputing payroll and penalty calculations:

  • 69L-6.028: Procedures for Imputing Payroll and Penalty Calculations 

The Rule hearing was not requested, and therefore not held.

The purpose of the proposed Rule amendment is to provide the Department alternative means and methods by which it may calculate an employer’s imputed payroll and penalty, to clarify the timeframe within which such an imputation may occur, and to define the meaning of “non-compliance” within the Rule.

Additionally, the proposed Rule amendment would delete language regarding penalty assessments for periods of noncompliance that occurred prior to October 1, 2003.
