L&I Adjustments and ROII Refunds

ROII INFORMATIONThe ROII plan year consists of twelve calendar months beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 of the following year, as well as the three subsequent annual adjustments, the first of which occurs roughly ten months after the plan year has ended. In total, a plan year lasts forty-six (46) months from start to finish. Member participants are required to continue paying their regular quarterly premiums directly to the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) during the plan year.

In April 2023, L&I will calculate the first of three retrospective premium adjustments. The 2021-2022 ROII plan year refunds are based on what the group participants (your company and others) pay in Standard Premiums to L&I and Developed Losses that L&I charges the group for claims with a date of injury between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

If the ROII group’s Standard Premiums paid exceed its Developed Losses, L&I returns the excess money to the group sponsor. If Developed Losses exceed Standard Premiums paid, member participants may be assessed additional premiums.

Companies that meet program requirements will be automatically re-enrolled for each consecutive new plan year unless a written cancellation request is sent to BIAW or L&I prior to the start of the next plan year.

If you own more than one business or are the majority owner of more than one business, L&I will assign a main (primary) account number to your principal business and sub-account numbers for your secondary business or businesses. If L&I does this and you apply to enroll one of your businesses in a retro group, L&I will analyze all of your commonly-owned businesses to determine which will be required to enroll in retro. This is referred to as the “all or nothing rule” and means if one company participates, all must participate if they fall within the same business and industry category of the group you have applied to. You have the option to enroll non-construction related sub-accounts. If you have questions about this requirement, please call the business association above or L&I at (360) 902-4851.

As a member of the sponsoring organization listed above, this employer applies for enrollment in the retrospective rating group sponsored by the organization. L&I will notify the sponsoring organization of acceptance or denial of your applica-tion to participate in the group. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring organization to notify you of this acceptance or denial. As a prerequisite of enrollment, each of your industrial insurance accounts must be in good standing at the time of enrollment or you will not be allowed to participate in retrospective rating.

By signing this document, the employer named above agrees with all of the following conditions:

n L&I will automatically re-enroll the employer as a member of the group in future coverage periods provided the employer’s industrial insurance account is in good standing at the time of re-enrollment. If the employer does not want to participate in future coverage periods, the employer or sponsoring organization must notify L&I in writing prior to the beginning of the respective coverage period.n The employer authorizes L&I to furnish the sponsoring organization or their designee with data and information obtained from the employer’s industrial insurance account(s).n The sponsoring organization will represent the employer in all matters applicable to retrospective rating participation and the employer’s industrial insurance account(s).n The employer agrees to comply with L&I rules, regulations and laws and is bound by the terms of the agreement between the sponsoring organization and L&I.n The employer will cooperate with L&I claims management activities and will participate in the sponsoring organization’s claims management and workplace safety initiatives.n All retrospective rating adjustments that may be earned by the employer will be given to the sponsoring organization. L&I is not involved in the distribution of a group refund to the individual group members except in the case of defunct group.These conditions are in effect immediately and will remain in effect through the term of any agreement between the sponsoring organization and L&I.

NOTE:L&I disclaims any interest in any other contract you may enter into with the sponsoring organization as their prerequisite of your participation in the retrospective rating group that they sponsor and L&I neither approves or disapproves of any language or provision contained in these other contracts. Return this application directly to the above organization. DO NOT SEND THIS APPLICATION DIRECTLY TO L&I.

YOUR SIGNATURE MUST BE HAND SIGNED

THIS CONTRACT is made and entered into on the date below (page 3c) between the Building Industry Association of Washington, a Washington State based nonprofit corporation (hereinafter “BIAW”), and the company named within (hereinafter “Participating Member”), including their affiliated subsidiary accounts who are required by the State of Washington Department of Labor & Industries’ (hereinafter “L&I”) regulations to be included in the group as a condition of enrollment as defined by WAC 296-17B-770 who is a Member in good standing with BIAW and a local Washington State building association affiliated with BIAW. RECITALS: A. BIAW has entered into a “Group Retrospective Rating Agreement” (hereinafter “the Agreement”) with L&I pursuant to Chapter 51.18 RCW. Under this Agreement, the Industrial Insurance Premiums of Participating Members for a given Plan Year are combined together to form an insurance pool. L&I then uses this premium to pay workers’ compensation benefits to employees of the Participating Members with injury dates that fall within the given Plan Year. Any excess premiums computed by L&I for each separate Plan Year are returned to BIAW annually and under L&I rules become the exclusive property of BIAW. Excess premiums may be distributed to Participating Members as outlined in the “Distribution of Premium Return” part of this contract.

AND B. The Member company wishes to be a Participating Member of BIAW’s Return on Industrial Insurance (hereinafter “ROII”) retrospective rating group for the July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 Plan Year.THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this contract, BIAW and the Participating Member agree as follows: 1. Meaning of Terms and Words (a) “Plan Year” – consists of twelve calendar months beginning on July 1, of a given year and ending on June 30th of the following year (Example: July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022) and the three subsequent annual adjustments the first of which occurs roughly ten months after the Plan Year has ended (April 2023). In total a Plan Year lasts forty-six (46) months from start to finish. (b) “Staggered Enrollment” – L&I allows BIAW to enroll new Participating Members each calendar quarter during a Plan Year. If a Member applies to participate in a Plan Year after the July 1st start date and they are accepted as a Participating Member their participation for the initial Plan Year would start on the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the date this contract is executed by BIAW or its designee. This shortened participation period still has the same end date of June 30th of the Plan Year in which they participate.(Example: a Member company submits a contract for consideration on September 1st. If the Member is accepted their first enrollment would start on October 1st and end on June 30th the following year and cover nine calendar months.) The three annual adjustments described in Plan Year above apply exactly in the same way. (c) “Industrial Insurance Premium(s)” – this is the amount of money that a Participating Member pays to L&I quarterly for their industrial insurance coverage. Industrial Insurance Premiums do not include penalties, interest or security deposits that a Participating Member may be required to pay L&I for late payments or other infractions. Industrial Insurance Premiums include the employer paid accident fund and the medical aid fund, stay at work fund and supplemental pension assessment that the employer and worker pay to L&I. (d) “Standard Premium(s)” – this is the accident fund and medical aid fund portion of the Industrial Insurance Premium. (e) “Premium Return(s)” – this is the amount of Industrial Insurance Premiums in the ROII insurance pool that L&I returns to BIAW that is in excess of what L&I needs to pay benefits to employees of Participating Members injured in work place incidents. (f) “Penalties” – this is the amount of additional premium that Participating Members owe if the Plan Year is assessed a penalty by L&I. The limit of a Participating Member’s obligation for Penalties is described in the “Penalties and Liability Limits” part of this Agreement. (g) “Participating Member(s)” – a Member that is part of the ROII retrospective rating group in a given Plan Year. (h) “Member” – any business that pays dues to one of BIAW’s local building association affiliates and dues to BIAW. (i) “Applicant Member” – any Member that is applying to participate in the ROII program. (j) “Good Standing” – a Member of one or more local building associations affiliated with BIAW who is compliant with the local affiliated association by-laws and membership requirements and who is also compliant with BIAW by-laws and membership requirements. (k) “Represent” – refers to BIAW or its designee representing the Participating Member in all claim-related matters before L&I (see Form 2). “Represent” does not include matters that proceed to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (BIIA) or higher courts. The Retro Group and Participating Member are separate entities for legal standing purposes. If a Participating Member wishes to appeal an L&I decision independent of BIAW or its designee, the Participating Member must retain and pay for their own legal counsel. Nothing in this section shall be read as relieving the Participating Member of its obligation to cooperate with BIAW and/or its designee at all levels of claim management and adjudication/appeal. See also sections 5 (k) and 7 (e). (l) “Subsidiary Account” – a term used by L&I to denote that the business is owned entirely by an owner or group of owners who also owns another business or is the majority owner (51%) in two or more businesses (WAC 296-17B-770). 2. Plan SelectionBIAW or its designee makes this selection for the group. Participating Member obligations for any additional premium/penalties is described in the “Penalties and Liability Limits” part of this Agreement. 3. ROII AdministrationBIAW may as permitted by L&I regulation and this Agreement delegate the administrative duties described in the “Administrative Responsibilities” part of this Agreement to a third party administrator or other designee, including Member Services Corporation (MSC). 4. Administrative ResponsibilitiesBIAW or its designee will provide association Members with enrollment procedures for the ROII retrospective rating group program. BIAW or its designee is responsible for the administration of the ROII group including establishing underwriting criteria and participation requirements. BIAW or its designee will determine if claims assistance to Participating Members and safety and loss control services will be performed by Member Services Corporation (MSC) staff or contracted out to an independent third party administrator. All actions and decisions of BIAW or its designee regarding the disposition of the Premium Return, including but not limited to establishing reserves; investment of funds; timing and amount of any distribution of the Premium Return or payments to Participating Members; and expenditures for administrative costs and expenses of the ROII retro group shall be within the sole discretion of BIAW or its designee. BIAW or its designee may at its discretion hire staff or consultants necessary to carry out its obligations and may pay from the Premium Return such compensation for such services as it deems reasonable and proper. Decisions of BIAW or its designee are not subject to challenge and shall be absolute and binding on all Participating Members. 5. Participating Member ObligationsBy completing and submitting this contract to BIAW or its designee, the Applicant Member agrees to all of the following additional conditions and requirements:

The annual enrollment/ re-enrollment fee is the equivalent of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Participating Member’s L&I Industrial Insurance Premium (four most recent calendar quarters). If the Participating Member is part of a Staggered Enrollment, the enrollment/re-enrollment fee will be pro-rated based on the percentage of the Participating Member’s coverage period bears to the Plan Year. In no case shall this fee be less than one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00).The enrollment fee must be included with this Agreement when it is submitted to BIAW or its designee as a condition of enrollment. As part of the automatic re-enrollment procedure outlined in the “Participating Member Obligations” section of this Agreement, BIAW or its designee may deduct annual re-enrollment fees directly from the Participating Member’s ROII Premium Return. (f) The Participating Member acknowledges and agrees that all Premium Returns from L&I are to be paid to BIAW or its designee.

Distribution of Premium ReturnThe Premium Return to BIAW or its designee is determined by L&I and is based upon: (a) The Plan and participation level (Risk) selected by BIAW or its designee; (b) The aggregate premium, claim costs of the Participating Members; and, (c) Actuarially determined factors developed and applied by L&I. Therefore, a Premium Return for any Plan Year is not guaranteed.

The timing and amount of any distribution of the Premium Return and any income produced from the investment of the Premium Return shall be determined by BIAW or its designee in its sole and absolute discretion. The actual distribution of the Premium Return and/or income produced from investment of the Premium Return or portion thereof to Participating Members is based upon a distribution system adopted by BIAW or its designee. Any and all decisions of BIAW or its designee concerning distribution of the Premium Return and/or income derived from investments of the Premium Return are not subject to challenge or modification by any party (i.e. Member of BIAW or affiliated local building association, ROII Participating Member, creditor of a Member or Participating Member, state, federal or local taxing agency). The Participating Member acknowledges and agrees BIAW or its designee may pay ten percent (10%) of the Premium Return applicable to this Plan Year to local affiliated building associations who do not sponsor, market or promote a plan that competes in whole or in part with the ROII plan and ten percent (10%) to BIAW. The allocation of any such fees among and between local associations will be in the sole and absolute discretion of BIAW or its designee. These fees are in consideration for BIAW’s sponsorship of the ROII program and may be used by BIAW or its designee for any purpose.

BIAW or its designee shall not be subject to any claim by the Defaulting Member or any creditor or assignee of the Defaulting Member. Any forfeited Premium Return and/or any income produced from investment of the Premium Return or portion thereof shall be held and distributed to Participating Members in good standing as authorized by BIAW or its designee. 8. Penalties and Liability Limits of Participating MembersThe Applicant Member understands and agrees to all of the following conditions: (a) If the Plan Year is assessed an additional penalty by L&I, the Participating Member will be subject to a penalty not to exceed their pro-rata share of their Standard Premiums that may become payable to L&I for the Plan Year in which they participate. (b) The Participating Member will pay this additional premium as billed by BIAW or its designee to BIAW or its designee immediately upon request of BIAW or its designee. (c) That if the Participating Member fails to pay the additional premium when requested or demanded by BIAW or its designee, the Participating Member will pay an additional interest rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and compounded daily on the unpaid balance until they have satisfied the debt and that they are directly responsible for this debt and any interest and penalties that may accrue as a result of late payments by the Participating Member until the debt has been fully satisfied. (d) Participating Members will remain liable for any additional premium liability until all adjustments to the Plan Year in which they participated have been completed by L&I and the Plan Year is closed by L&I. (e) That the Participating Member’s liability under this Agreement shall not be extinguished by the Participating Member’s withdrawal, expulsion, membership termination, sale of business or closure. If a corporation or limited liability company, the officers/partners/owners/members agree to be bound by this Agreement and to be personally and jointly liable for this debt. (f) In the event that it is determined that a Participating Member has underpaid their workers’ compensation insurance premiums either by under reporting work hours of employees or misclassifying employee work hours or using a reporting methodology that resulted in an underpayment of Industrial Insurance Premiums, BIAW or its designee at its option may require the Participating Member to pay the difference of their retrospective premium and the premium they actually paid to L&I. For purpose of this paragraph “retrospective premium” shall be the same amount as calculated by L&I in the retrospective rating formula found in WAC 296-17B. 9. Future EnrollmentThe Participating Member will automatically be re-enrolled in future Plan Years unless they (i) notify BIAW or its designee in writing that they wish to discontinue participating in the ROII retrospective rating group no later than one month prior to the start of a new Plan Year or (ii) receive notice from BIAW or its designee that the Participating Member will not be re-enrolled. 10. Contract Amendments Should BIAW or its designee find it necessary to amend, change or alter the terms of this contract, the Participating Member shall be deemed to have agreed to the changed terms and/or obligations for the next Plan Year if (i) BIAW or its designee communicates the changes to the Par- ticipating Member in writing at least two months prior to the start of the next Plan Year and (ii) the Participating Member does not notify BIAW or its designee in writing no later than one month prior to the start of the next Plan Year that the Participating Member wishes to discontinue participating in the ROII retrospective rating group for the next Plan Year. 11. Non WaiverThe rights of BIAW or its designee under this agreement shall be cumulative and the failure on the part of BIAW or its designee to exercise properly any rights given hereunder shall not operate to forfeit or waive any of BIAW’s or its designee’s rights under this contract. 12. Attorney FeesIn the event that BIAW or its designee is required to hire legal counsel to enforce any of the obligations, requirements and/or conditions of this contract against a Defaulting/Participating Member or defend against a claim made by a Defaulting/ Participating Member, the Defaulting/Participating Member agrees to pay all legal fees and costs incurred by BIAW or its designee as a result of any legal action or proceeding. The Defaulting/Participating Member also agrees that the Thurston County Superior Court shall be the exclusive venue for any lawsuits arising under this contract. 13. BIAW IndemnificationThe Applicant Member hereby releases and agrees to indemnify and hold BIAW and/or its designee, and all its or their Members, staff and consultants hired by BIAW or its designee harmless from any and all liability for any decision which may or hereafter be made by BIAW and/or its designee including its staff or consultants with regard to the ROII retrospective rating group, plan risk selection, Participating Member enrollments and distribution of Premium Return (including the disposition of or distribution of any interest, principal and profit). 14. Acceptance in ROIIThe Applicant Member understands and acknowledges that L&I will accept BIAW’s sponsorship of the ROII retrospective rating group only if BIAW complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements of L&I. The Applicant Member also understands and acknowledges that approval to participate in the ROII retrospective rating group rests with BIAW or its designee and is contingent upon L&I’s approval of the Applicant Member to participate in BIAW’s ROII program. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Applicant Member, its successors and assignees and is effective upon approval of this Agreement by L&I and BIAW as outlined in this section (14) of this Agreement.
