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.
The Call to Action (CTA):
