TAXICAB OPERATIONS — all employees
Payroll shall include the entire remuneration earned by all taxicab drivers during the policy period. In the event an employer does not keep verifiable payroll records for all taxicab drivers, the minimum remuneration for taxicab drivers shall not be less than $42,400 per annum per taxicab dispatched by or operated under the auspices of the insured. The minimum payroll amount is in consideration of taxicab downtime, vacation time or other periods during which the taxicab is not in operation, as well as the use of a single taxicab by multiple drivers. The per annum payroll amount shall be prorated only when the taxicab is not dispatched by or under the auspices of the insured or registered for the full policy period or when the policy period is less than one year.
This classification applies to the operation of taxicab services engaged in transporting the general public on a fee basis. Taxicab operations provide passenger transportation services that are available for immediate hire with fares that must be determined by either zone or meter. This classification includes the maintenance and repair of vehicles in connection with taxicab operations by the same employer.
Dispatchers engaged in clerical activities shall be separately classified as 8810, Clerical Office Employees, or 8871, Clerical Telecommuter Employees, subject to the Standard Exceptions rule. See Section III, Rule 4, Standard Exceptions.
Transportation services provided to passengers exclusively on a scheduled route, charter or other pre-arranged basis, including Transportation Network Companies (TNC) that employ drivers, shall be classified as 7382, Bus, Shuttle Van or Limousine Operations.
