Subject: The director adopts by rule the workers’ compensation
premium assessment rate that is paid by all employers based on their workers’
compensation premium and is collected by the insurer at the time the employer
pays the premium. This assessment is used to fund workers’ compensation related
programs and workplace safety and health programs that serve Oregon employers
and workers. In addition, the rule adopts the rate for an additional assessment
percentage amount that is collected from all self-insured employers as well as
all self-insured employer groups to fund the Self-Insured Employers Adjustment
Reserve and the Self-Insured Employer Group Adjustment Reserve. These reserves
are established to assure benefits are available in the event of a financial
failure of a self-insured employer or self-insured employer group. These rules
establish the assessment rate for calendar year 2012.
