Rules governing the retrospective rating program

The Washington Administrative Code (WAC) (www.leg.wa.gov) 296‑17‑90401 through WAC 296‑17‑90497 contains the general rules that govern the L&I's voluntary Retrospective Rating Program. We refer to these retro rules (WACs) as sections and the complete body of information as the "Retro Manual".

You can browse the Retro program rules individually (as listed below) or request a printed copy of the Retro Manual by e‑mail (Retro@Lni.wa.gov), or by calling 360‑902‑4851. In addition, the Business & Industry Category Guide (320 KB PDF) is available in Adobe PDF format (see WAC 296‑17‑90421 for additional information).
