Class code 8810 — Clerical Office Employees

This classification covers employees whose duties are entirely administrative or clerical and who work at a desk, away from any shop, warehouse, or production area. Think receptionists, data-entry staff, schedulers, HR generalists, and billing clerks who spend the day on a phone or computer rather than handling tools, inventory, or equipment.

Payroll for this code should only include people who never step into a work area with mechanical or physical hazards. If an employee occasionally helps in a stockroom, drives a delivery route, or works alongside production staff, that time belongs in a different classification. Underwriters are strict about this separation because mixing duties changes the exposure picture significantly.

The real-world risks here are modest but not zero: slips on wet floors, repetitive strain from typing and screen use, awkward reaching for files, and the occasional strain from lifting a box of supplies. There's little exposure to machinery, vehicles, or outdoor conditions, which is why this code sits near the bottom of the workers' comp rate scale for most industries.
