Set Up an OCIP / CCIP - Overview

Set up a special OCIP/CCIP worker's compensation code with a zero rate and add this special code to the job.

Only one classification of worker is required. In this scenario you are not required to break out the different types of work performed when reporting OCIP/CCIP information. Use the Worker's Comp Expense by Job Report to provide information to the owner or contractor.

Multiple classifications of worker time are required. In this scenario you are required to break out employee time into different types of categories. You will create a new OCIP/CCIP worker's comp code for each category you are required to report on. Again, these new codes will have a zero rate.

Enter these OCIP/CCIP worker's comp codes onto the Wage Codes. In this scenario, do not enter any worker's compensation codes on the job as it would override the Wage Code defaults Also use the Worker's Comp Expense by Job Report when submitting information to the owner or contractor.

Important: The Worker's Comp Expense by Job Report does not calculate covered earnings. The determination of covered earnings is the responsibility of the owner or the contractor. For this reason, this report provides the total earnings (regular, overtime, double time, and other) as well as any add-ons subject to worker's comp.
