In California, effective September 1, 2021 to 8/31/2022 if an executive officer chooses to be included or fails to sign the appropriate officer exclusion form the entire remuneration earned by each executive officer during the policy period shall be used as the payroll, subject to a minimum remuneration of $55,900 per annum and a maximum remuneration of $144,300 per annum for each executive officer covered under the policy. For the 2022 policy period effective 9/1/2022 to 8/31/2023, the minimum remuneration is $57,200 per year and a maximum of $149,500
It is important that you keep an eye out for the office exclusion form that your carrier will send to you and have each eligible office complete the form if they choose to be excluded as the carrier cannot backdate if the form is not received in a timely manner.
BE CAREFUL WHEN ELECTING TO EXCLUDE OFFICERS, as recent changes in Health Insurance policies specifically exclude work related injuries. We recommend including all officers to assure they are properly protected in the event of an injury while at work.
This provision also applies to executive officers of a corporation while the corporation is covered as a member of a partnership or joint venture operation and to executive officers of a limited liability company.
Executive officers”, as used herein, means those officers of a corporation or a limited liability company commonly known and styled as president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer and shall include, in addition thereto, any other executive officers enumerated in and empowered by the charter or any regularly adopted by-laws of the corporation and who are elected or appointed and empowered by the directors or set forth in the operating agreement of a limited liability company. When such persons are not executive officers during the entire policy period, the payroll limitation shall be prorated based upon the number of weeks that such persons were executive officers during the policy period.
