The administrator hereby sets administrative cost rates as indicated in paragraph (D) of this rule for the bureau of workers' compensation and the bureau of workers' compensation board of directors.

(1)     If the employer qualifies for experience rating, either as an individual or through participation in group rating, the assessment is calculated based on a percentage of the employer's experience rated premium.

 

(2)   If the employer is not experience rated, the assessment is calculated based on a percentage of the employer's base rate premium.

 

(3)   If the employer is retrospectively rated, the assessment is calculated based on a percentage of the employer's experience rated premium or base rated premium (but not the minimum premium percentage from the retrospective rating plan) that the employer would have paid if the employer were not participating in retrospective rating.

 

(4)   For state agencies, including state universities and state university hospitals, the assessment is calculated based on a percentage of the employer's premium.
