Workers' Compensation Rate Definitions

WC1 Clerical, applies to support staff of institutions of learning who typically work in an office environment, whose duties do not include performing in a scientific laboratory environment.

WC2 Professional (without lab), applies to professional faculty, administrators, and support personnel of institutions of learning whose duties do not include performing in a scientific laboratory environment.

WC3 Professional (with lab involvement), applies to professional faculty, administrators, and support personnel of institutions of learning whose duties include performing in a scientific laboratory environment.

WC4 Non-Professional, applies to employees engaged in the care, custody and maintenance of university, college or school buildings, grounds and equipment; this rate also applies to safety and security personnel of the institution and any other personnel engaged in activities not defined as Professional (with lab involvement), Professional (without lab involvement) or Clerical.

All non-benefited employees, including students, should be placed in the appropriate rate instead of the "Clerical" rate. For example, if a student employee is working in a lab, they will be placed in the "Professional with lab" category. Graduate Assistants will be placed in either the "Professional" or "Professional with lab" category dependent on whether they are teaching or performing research in a lab setting.
