• Art. 2: PREMIUMS AND RATES

Text

(a) State agencies shall administer this act as an
employer with respect to its employees including filing payroll
reports and submitting premium payments for those employees
engaged in extrahazardous employment and covered under this act.
Each state agency having officers or employees subject to this
act shall file payroll reports and submit premium payments as
required by this act. Premium payments for coverage of any
employee employed under a federally funded program administered
by an agency may be made from available federal funds.
(b) For the purpose of determining employer contributions
under this act, all school-to-work participants for which
coverage has been elected under W.S. 27-14-108(m), all persons
receiving training under any work or job training program for
which coverage has been elected under W.S. 27-14-108(p), all
volunteers covered under this act, mine rescue team members,
recipients of any welfare program performing work for a
governmental entity, federal programs which require coverage for
their participants, prisoners and probationers under W.S.
27-14-108(d)(ix) and persons performing community service
pursuant to a criminal sentencing order, or a diversion
agreement entered into with a prosecuting authority, under W.S.
27-14-108(d)(xv), are deemed to be paid for each month of active
service, an amount established by rule and regulation of the
division based upon the cost of the specific employment category
to the worker's compensation account. This amount shall be
established solely as a basis for determining employer
contributions and is not binding upon any employer as an actual
required salary for any volunteer or other individual enumerated
under this subsection.
(c) For purposes of determining employer contributions
under this act for officers of a corporation or members of a
limited liability company electing coverage under W.S.
27-14-108(k), rates shall be applied for each officer or member
covered under this act against the statewide average wage for
the preceding twelve (12) month period as determined under W.S.
27-14-802(b).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, a
school district or community college district may make payroll
reports and payments on behalf of any employer electing coverage
for school-to-work participants under W.S. 27-14-108(m). If a
school or community college district elects to make payments
under this subsection, the district shall continue to make
reports and payments for the duration of participation by the
school-to-work participant with that employer.
