Re: [AFMUG] Tower Climber Insurance premium went 25k up for one guy.

Not sure what code rating I have as a tower climber. I don't get paid
enough, but I love being on a tower. 55k a year.

What code are they rating your tower climber as?  How much are you 
paying this guy?  WC is a percentage of actual wages.

they have us report what percentage of time per year the employee does 
each role.  so our main tower climber is maybe 30% (probably less tho) 
tower work with the other 70% in office or other jobs etc.  think 
about how many hours (out of 2080 work hours per year) are actually on 
a tower.  As a WISP it's a lot less hours/year (since we do so many 
random things) compared to say a guy who's only job is going to AT 
towers all day, everyday, year round.

in colorado workman's comp is handled by a quasi government
monopoly/private provider, they are the only entity that can provide in our
state.

they have us report what percentage of time per year the employee does each
role.  so our main tower climber is maybe 30% (probably less tho) tower
work with the other 70% in office or other jobs etc.  think about how many
hours (out of 2080 work hours per year) are actually on a tower.  As a WISP
it's a lot less hours/year (since we do so many random things) compared to
say a guy who's only job is going to AT towers all day, everyday, year
round.
