The Texas Division of Workers Compensation has increased the gross annual payroll requirement for coverage of seasonal workers.
The annual payroll requirement of an employer for the coverage of seasonal workers has increased to $54,783 from $54,359. This is a 0.8% increase based on the inflation rate calculated by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Texas Department of Insurance said Oct. 20 in a statement.
The gross payroll amount will be used in 2017 to apply against an agricultural employer's 2016 gross payroll, and to determine whether a farm or ranch worker is covered by workers comp, according to the notice.
