Adjusted Gross Annual Payroll Requirement Determined
The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has determined, pursuant to the authority and direction given under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act (Texas Labor Code, Section 406.162), the adjusted annual payroll requirement of an employer for the coverage of seasonal workers has increased from $54,359 to $54,783. This is an increase of .78 percent based on the inflation rate calculated by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. This gross payroll amount will be used in year 2017 to apply against an agricultural employer’s year 2016 gross payroll, and to determine whether a farm or ranch worker is covered by workers’ compensation.
