determine premium due from employer - Audit - Notification of billing statement as notice
of amount due.
1. The organization shall assign rate classifications based on information provided to the
organization by the employer or information gathered through the organization's
investigative process.
2. The organization shall determine the amount of premium due from every employer
subject to this title for the twelve months next succeeding the date of expiration of a
previous period of insurance or next succeeding the date at which the organization
received information an employer is subject to the title.
3. The organization may calculate an employer's premium without employer-supplied
wages if the organization does not receive the employer's payroll report or does not
receive reliable and accurate payroll information from the employer. The organization's
premium calculation using the wage cap in effect per employee reported in the
previous payroll report, using information obtained through the organization's
investigative process, or using data obtained from job service North Dakota is
presumed accurate.
4. The organization may audit an employer conducting business in this state. Audit
findings are applicable to the audited period and the subsequent payroll period only,
unless the audit referral is made for a potential violation of section 65-04-33.
5. The organization shall send a copy of the billing statement to the employer. Sending
the billing statement, by mail or electronically, constitutes notice to the employer of the
amount due.
