Retro group - Classification assignments
Since retro does not use a unique classification scheme (RCW 51.18.040(5) (www.leg.wa.gov)) and because a classification may fall appropriately into multiple business or industry categories (RCW 51.18.040(4) (www.leg.wa.gov)) L&I does not assign classifications to retro groups.
L&I approves employers to participate in a retro group by considering the activities and services being provided by employees of the employer. This ensures that the activities and services of the employer's business are substantially similar to the activities and services of the retro group.
| Note: In the event that a retro group does not exist for an employer seeking to participate in a retro group, L&I will use an analogy approach to identify a possible group or groups that an employer may participate in. This procedure is intended to encourage the broad participation goals of Chapter 51.18 RCW (www.leg.wa.gov). |
