Workers' Comp Class Code 8008: Clothing / Apparel Store — Retail
What it covers
Retail clothing and dry-goods stores — one of the cheaper retail codes; general-retail 8017 applied instead is an overcharge.
Illustrative rate range
$0.60 – $1.60 per $100 of payroll
National illustrative range — varies by state and carrier.
Worked example: on $50,000 of annual payroll, this code alone would cost roughly $300 to $800 a year.
