What recourse does an employer have if it disagrees with the classification assigned to its business?

Question: 
What recourse does an employer have if it disagrees with the classification assigned to its business?
Answer: 

The employer should seek an explanation from its insurer. If necessary, the insurer should be asked to request a WCIRB inspection. There may be a charge for the inspection. If the class assigned by the WCIRB is still disputed, contact the WCIRB for reconsideration. The Policyholder Ombudsman is available to assist policyholders through the process.
