Article 95A - Unemployment Insurance Law

[(2) An employer who meets the requirement of

Article 101 - Workmen's Compensation

74.

It shall be the duty of the commissioners of the State
Accident Fund to classify any industries subject to this
article mentioned or not mentioned which are insured in the
State Accident Fund. And the commissioners shall have power
on or before the first day of January of each year to
reclassify such industries, or oftener, if, in the opinion
of the commissioners, the same should be deemed just and
advantageous; or to create additional classifications with
respect to their respective degrees of hazard and determine
the risk of the different classes, and fix the rate of
premium for each class, according to the risks of the same
sufficiently large to guarantee a workmen's compensation
fund from year to year. It shall be the duty of the
commissioners in determining the rates, in order to create a
fund sufficiently large to guarantee a workmen's
compensation fund from year to year to also reclassify from
time to time the industries or occupations, in order that
there may be a flexible adjustment of the rates as the
hazard fluctuates, and to use all means in their power
through the rate adjustment to lessen the opportunity for
injuries to the workmen. The classification so determined
and the rates of premium established shall be applicable for
such year unless a reclassification should, in the opinion
of the commissioners, necessitate a change of rate within
such year; and based on each one hundred dollars of the
gross annual payroll of each employer in any class;
provided, also that for the purpose of this subtitle, the
pay of the employee partly within and partly without the
State shall be deemed to be such proportion of the total pay
of such employee as his service within the State bears to
his service outside the State. The commissioners shall have
the power to apply that form of rating system in the
establishment of premiums which, in their judgment, is best
