1.  Why do I need to submit payroll reports if I am already making premium payments?

We use payroll reports to make sure we can determine the cost you should pay for insurance coverage, just as any carrier would require.

2.  What if my payroll is higher or lower than I already submitted?

Contact us to correct your report as soon as possible. If you have a broker, please contact your broker.

3.   How do I calculate payroll premium and complete my payroll report?

You’re not required to calculate premium if your policy is on stipulated billing. You’ll only need to provide payroll figures for each class code for the period specified on the payroll report. You’ll also need to provide payroll for covered officers, LLC members, and/or partners included in your policy.

4.  Why are class codes listed with different dates on my payroll report?

This is called a split payroll and occurs when there is an Anniversary Rating Date on your policy. The Anniversary Rating Date is the month and day that rates, rating plans, and rating systems are initially applied to an in-force policy and each annual anniversary thereafter. This causes your policy to have more than one rate. As a result, you’ll need to note each class code and date specified on your payroll report.

5.  I made a mistake on my payroll report. How do I correct it?

If you made an error completing an electronic payroll report you can call (888) 782-8338, but only by 1:00 PM. on the same business day that you submitted your payroll. Otherwise you may resubmit an electronic payroll report in the same way you resubmit a paper report, by printing a copy and annotating changes. It is imperative that you re-sign, re-date, and write "Revised" on the report, so we can verify when the changes were made.

If you don’t have a copy of the previously submitted report, please call (888) 782-8338 to request one. We can mail, fax, or email you the report. Once you make all the corrections, fax the report to (925) 416-3361, email us at bsu@scif.com or mail it to:

If you are submitting your report through the mail, simply write “none” on all pages and sign and date them before mailing the report to us.
