What work does code 7380 cover?
It includes garage employees and employees who ride bicycles for work. It is not used when your main class already includes drivers.
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.
Often confused with
Which pay counts toward code 7380 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 does code 7380 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

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.

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
- Do I need 7380 if my class already says drivers?
- No. Under Minnesota's rule, 7380 is not used when the main class's wording includes drivers.
- Is code 7380 used in Texas?
- Yes. Texas lists 7380 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 7380 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.
