FWCJUA’s Payroll Audit Procedures

The goal of the FWCJUA is to complete timely and accurate audits in order to assess and collect premium that represents the proper risk exposure – no more and no less.

Each Employer will be required to complete and return the Quarterly Reporting Form along with their corresponding UCT-6 and Employer's Affidavit.  This information is due back to the Service Provider no later than 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter (i.e. May 15th, August 15th, November 15th and February 15th).  Failure to remit this information in a timely manner may result in the cancellation of the policy.

Each workers’ compensation policy is subject to a premium audit at the end of the policy term. An audit may take the form of a physical audit or a mail audit based on the size of the policy and/or the nature of the business operations.  Failure to return a mail audit or refusal to cooperate in completing a physical audit may result in the cancellation of the policy AND being billed for up to a maximum of 3 times the most recent estimated annual premium in accordance with section 440.381(8), Florida Statutes, for purposes of determining the final premium.

It is important that each Employer use reasonable payroll estimates prior to policy inception and during the course of the policy to avoid possible substantial additional premiums at the time the audit is prepared.
