2005 - Cost components for Rate Group CZ:

Since 2004, the membership of this rate group has changed. This is because industry groups and their associated classification units have moved between rate groups, based on the industry groups' sustained cost trends. Since this could have a significant impact on industries that are moved, WCB limits rate changes to 20 percent. Please refer to this rate group's main page to determine base rates for member classification units.
