What is the name of your state? NC

what is "workers compensation rates" ? is it the amount paid to an injured party or the amount the employer would pay for insurance? In either case would the amount remain constant during any calendar year?

 

[ellencee]

"workers compensation rate" most likely refers to the weekly compensation rate that is paid to the employee. There is also a rate of compensation that applies to permanent partial impairments, temporary partial impairments, permanent total impairment/disability, and death. Those rates are for the purpose of determining a settlement amount vs. a weekly compensation rate.
