We are retrospectively rated but regardless, we charge back all costs. What I do is first find the base rate for workers comp including DWRF I and II as they are statutory, I remove the EMR and admin fees. That gives me a base that everyone would pay. I charge that against reportable payroll. Then I calculate payroll based on the rate on the invoice/online payment. I subtract the base premium from the billed premium and the difference is representative of utilization. That is what we refer to as "additional risk". We then find each department/org code's responsibility within the experience exhibit. We prorate that percentage to the "additional risk" and add that dollar amount to the base premium. That process charges back actualities. Small departments aren't killed and the general fund does not end up paying for non-general fund experience (MCBDD, Engineer, Sanitary) However, now that we are paying prospectively, we had to add another process wherein we come up with an expense rate for payroll at budget time in advance. Since 2017 was paid last December, we had to come up with a rate to charge payroll in 2015 and put the money aside so in December we had already collected most of it. Come January of 2018. We will do true up and see how we budgeted. We were pretty close for 2016 but we don't use the billed premium; we ask for an adjusted premium using the budgeted payroll we come up with in October/September. That way we don't owe a whole bunch of money due to using two year old payroll.

I'm really interested in how the budgeting works in terms of paying the bill in January, getting refunds later and applying them proportionately to the departments, etc. Any other feedback would be appreciated.
