Compliance with NYS ICR Rules 59 & 60

Received a NYS ICR 59 Notice? Here’s Exactly What It Means (and How to Fix It)

TLDR: What You Need to Know

Did you just receive a letter from the NYS Department of Labor stating your experience rating is above 1.20? You aren't alone—but you are on a clock. Industrial Code Rule 59 is a mandatory workplace safety and loss prevention program designed to lower your costs, but the compliance process is rigorous.

  • Companies with a payroll over $800,000 and an experience rating (MOD) above 1.20 are targeted. It’s not a random audit; it’s a financial red flag.

  • The Deadline: You have 30 days from the date of the notice to hire a Certified Safety Consultant.

  • The Risk of Inaction: Failure to comply results in a 5% surcharge on your manual workers' comp premium for the first year, doubling to 10% every year after.

  • The Solution: Outline your process—Consultation, Survey, Report, and Implementation.
