Overview
This Experience Modification Factor Verification Worksheet is a compliance-focused form for checking the data behind a workers' compensation experience modification factor. It captures the verification date, reviewer, policy number, effective period, insured name, state or jurisdiction, NCCI mod, rating source, payroll summary, classification codes, and loss data review so you can compare what the carrier or bureau used against your own records.
Use it when a mod changes, a renewal quote looks off, a classification assignment seems wrong, or you need a clean audit trail of who reviewed the numbers and what was found. The worksheet is especially useful before renewal, after a claim closes, or when payroll has shifted across departments or locations. It helps you document discrepancies, assign follow-up ownership, and set a next review date.
Do not use this as a substitute for the official rating worksheet or for unrelated HR intake. It is not meant for collecting unnecessary PII, and it should not ask for more detail than needed to verify the mod, payroll basis, and loss data. If the issue is outside workers' compensation rating, or if you do not have source documents to compare, the worksheet will not produce a reliable result. Keep the review tied to the policy period, the correct jurisdiction, and the records that actually support the rating.
Standards & compliance context
- This worksheet supports workers' compensation record review and should be retained with the policy file and audit trail according to your internal retention rules.
- Keep the form aligned with data minimization principles by collecting only the payroll, classification, and loss details needed to verify the mod.
- If the worksheet is shared across jurisdictions, confirm the state or rating source before relying on the result for renewal or dispute handling.
- Do not use the form to collect unnecessary PII or medical detail; loss review should stay at the claim-summary level unless a legitimate business need requires more.
General regulatory context for orientation only — verify current requirements with counsel or the relevant agency before relying on this template for compliance.

How to use this template
- 1. Enter the verification date, reviewer name, policy number, effective period, and the stated verification purpose so the worksheet has a clear audit trail.
- 2. Fill in the insured name, state or jurisdiction, NCCI mod, mod effective date, and rating source exactly as shown on the carrier or bureau documents.
- 3. Record the classification codes, payroll total, payroll basis, and any payroll discrepancy notes after comparing the policy data to your internal payroll records.
- 4. Review the loss run or claim listing, note how many claims were checked, and mark whether the loss data matches the source documents.
- 5. Summarize exceptions, assign a follow-up owner, choose the verification result, and set the next review date so discrepancies do not get lost.
- 6. Attach or link the supporting payroll reports, mod worksheet, and loss runs so the completed form can be reused during renewal or a dispute.
Best practices
- Use the exact policy period and rating source from the carrier or bureau before comparing any numbers.
- Match payroll by classification code and location, not just by total amount, so misallocated labor is easier to spot.
- Document every discrepancy in plain language and include the source document that supports your correction.
- Review loss data against the same claim period used for the mod, not a broader date range that can create false mismatches.
- Assign one follow-up owner for each exception so payroll corrections, claim questions, and broker outreach do not stall.
- Keep the worksheet focused on the minimum necessary data needed to verify the mod and avoid adding unrelated employee details.
- Set the next review date during the same session so the verification becomes part of the renewal or audit workflow.

Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
What is this worksheet used for?
This worksheet is used to confirm that the experience modification factor, payroll figures, classification codes, and loss data tied to a workers' compensation policy are accurate. It helps identify mismatches between the rating source, the policy record, and the employer's internal records before they affect renewal, premium, or underwriting decisions. It is especially useful when a mod changes unexpectedly or a carrier issues a rating you want to verify.
Who should complete the verification worksheet?
It is usually completed by a risk manager, HR or benefits lead, safety manager, insurance broker, or someone who handles workers' compensation audits and renewals. In smaller organizations, the employer's finance or operations lead may fill it out with help from the carrier or agent. The key is that the reviewer should have access to payroll records, class code support, and loss runs.
How often should this be used?
Most employers use it during renewal, after receiving a new mod worksheet, or whenever a premium increase seems inconsistent with prior payroll or claim activity. It can also be used after a classification change, merger, location expansion, or claim correction. If your workforce or payroll mix changes often, a scheduled annual review is the safest cadence.
Does this template replace the carrier's or NCCI's official worksheet?
No. This template is a verification and tracking tool, not the official rating worksheet. It helps you compare the official mod data against your own records, document discrepancies, and assign follow-up ownership. You still need to rely on the carrier, rating bureau, or agent for formal corrections and appeals.
What data should I have before filling it out?
Have the policy number, effective period, current mod, rating source, payroll summary, classification codes, and recent loss runs or claim listings ready. If you are checking a discrepancy, gather supporting payroll reports, class code assignments, and claim detail from the same period. The worksheet works best when the source documents are attached or linked for audit trail purposes.
What are the most common mistakes this worksheet helps catch?
Common issues include payroll being assigned to the wrong class code, missing or duplicated claims, incorrect effective dates, and a mod source that does not match the policy jurisdiction. It also helps surface discrepancies between internal payroll totals and the rating basis used by the bureau or carrier. Another frequent problem is leaving exceptions undocumented, which makes follow-up harder at renewal.
Can this be customized for different states or carriers?
Yes. You can add state-specific fields, carrier contact information, claim reference numbers, or internal approval steps. If you operate in multiple jurisdictions, it is useful to add conditional logic for state or rating source so reviewers only see the fields that apply. Keep the template focused on the data you actually use so it stays easy to complete.
How does this fit into a broader workers' compensation workflow?
This worksheet usually sits between receiving the mod worksheet and finalizing renewal, audit, or dispute follow-up. It can feed a broker review, a claim correction request, or an internal safety action plan if the loss data reveals a pattern. Many teams also link it to their renewal checklist so the verification step is not skipped.
