A department study identified the need for a single classification that appropriately rates product demonstrator services according to the industry’s level of hazard. The proposed subclassification is a special exception available to product demonstrator services, manufacturers, and wholesalers if hiring product demonstrators with no other exposure to their business’ operations. At today’s rates, the base rate for product demonstrators would be about 9 cents per hour higher for firms currently reporting product demonstrators in Classification 6303 (outside sales) and 28 cents per hour lower for any firm currently reporting product demonstrators in Classification 7106-01 (temporary staffing services, retail or wholesale store operations). The changes were adopted 4/1/2013 and will be effective on 1/1/2014.
