WHAT THE CODE COVERS

Baking for sale, with salespeople and drivers.

What work does code 2003 cover?

Minnesota groups the work in three: baked goods such as bread and cake, cookies and crackers, and frozen bakery items. A bakery's store that sells only for eating elsewhere takes a store class; a store where customers eat on the premises takes a restaurant class. Minnesota lets payroll be split for employees who both bake and work in the store or restaurant, under conditions in its manual.

Described in our own words from Minnesota's rating bureau manual. Minnesota has its own rating bureau, so NCCI's wording may differ. Wording and scope differ by state; the manual filed in your state decides.

Which pay counts toward code 2003 premium?

Premium is figured on payroll for the work in this class, and the rate is premium per $100 of it. What counts is set state by state. Minnesota's manual and Oregon's state fund, SAIF, both count employees' pre-tax deductions, such as 401(k) and Section 125 contributions, and both leave out the overtime premium, the extra half of time and a half (Minnesota requires records that show overtime pay by employee and by class). Check your state's rules.

WHERE IT APPLIES

Where does code 2003 apply?

NCCI is the rating bureau

These states have named NCCI their rating organization, so the code comes from NCCI's manual, with each state's exceptions.

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia

Texas lists 2003 in its advisory loss costs effective July 1, 2026.

Own rating bureau: check its manual

An independent bureau sets the classes. Many numbers match NCCI's, but wording and scope can differ: Indiana's bureau files NCCI's manual with Indiana-specific codes, while Minnesota's publishes its own.

California, Delaware, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin

State fund only

NCCI lists these as monopolistic states: workers' comp comes from the state fund, so ask the fund how it classes your work. Ohio's fund rates on NCCI classification codes; North Dakota, Washington and Wyoming use their own. Washington has its own risk classes and publishes hourly rates, so premium there follows hours worked, not payroll.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Is a bakery cafe in 2003?
The baking is. Under Minnesota's wording, a store where customers eat on the premises takes a restaurant class.
Is code 2003 used in Texas?
Yes. Texas lists 2003 in its advisory loss costs effective July 1, 2026. Those are loss costs, not rates: a carrier's rate adds its own expenses.
How is the premium for code 2003 worked out?
Your payroll in this class, divided by 100, times your carrier's rate for the class. Then your experience mod, any schedule credit or debit, and an expense constant if your policy has one. Premium discounts, state assessments and minimum premiums are separate.
