OTS-4519.4
NEW SECTION
WAC 260-36-250
Industrial insurance.
(1) At the time of
submitting a license application, or as provided in this
section, all trainers must pay the industrial insurance
premium assessment required by RCW 67.16.300 and 51.16.210 for
each person in their employment. The industrial insurance
premiums will be based on the type of race meet the trainer is
licensed to participate at and the type of license the
employee is licensed as. All the trainer's employees must be
properly licensed by the commission before being allowed to
work. If a trainer releases an employee from employment, the
trainer must notify the stewards within forty-eight hours.
(2) Class A, B, and C race meet.
(a) Trainers who are licensed at a Class A or B race meet must pay the industrial insurance premiums established by the department of labor and industries for parimutuel horse racing at major tracks.
(b) Trainers who are licensed at a Class C race meet will pay the industrial insurance premiums established by the department of labor and industries for parimutuel horse racing for nonprofit tracks.
(c) The trainer's base premium, covers all licensed pony riders employed by the trainer, and excludes assistant trainers, grooms and exercise riders.
(d) If a trainer who is licensed at a Class A or B race meet wishes to run a horse(s) at a Class C race meet during the same calendar year, the trainer from the Class A or B race meet is not required to pay any additional industrial insurance premiums to participate at a Class C race meet unless the trainer adds a groom slot or an assistant trainer, or starts different horses or adds more horses in training than they had at the Class A or B race meet. Should a trainer increase the number of employees or different horses started or in training, the trainer must pay the additional industrial insurance premiums for the Class C race meet.
(e) If a trainer who is licensed at a Class C race meet wishes to run a horse(s) at a Class A or B race meet during the same calendar year, the trainer from the Class C race meet must first pay the difference in industrial insurance premiums between what he/she has paid at the Class C race meet and the industrial insurance premiums due at the Class A or B race meet.
A trainer with a Class C license is ineligible to obtain Class A or B short duration coverage.
(3) Grooms and assistant trainers.
(a) At the time of licensing, or as provided in this section, a trainer must pay the annual industrial insurance premiums for grooms and assistant trainers established by labor and industries, unless exempted under reciprocal agreement outlined in subsection (7) of this section. Coverage will only apply to licensed grooms and assistant trainers working for the trainer, and excludes pony riders, and exercise riders employed by the trainer. In addition, a spouse groom is exempt from coverage requirements. A trainer is responsible for accurately reporting all grooms and assistant trainers in the trainer's employ. If a trainer releases any employee from employment, the trainer must notify the stewards within forty-eight hours. It is the trainer's responsibility to ensure all grooms and assistant trainers in their employ are properly licensed by the commission. (See also WAC 260-36-060 (1)(a).)
(b) A trainer must purchase a separate groom premium for the maximum number of grooms and/or assistant trainers hired at any one time. Prior to hiring a groom or assistant trainer, the trainer must ensure that a vacant groom/assistant trainer slot is available prior to allowing the groom or assistant trainer to work.
(4) Horse premiums - Exercise riders.
(a) At the time of licensing, or as provided in this section, a trainer must pay the annual industrial insurance premiums for all horses in training which covers exercise riders established by labor and industries unless exempted under reciprocal agreement outlined in subsection (7) of this section. Coverage will only apply to licensed exercise riders exercising horses for a licensed trainer and for trainers, also licensed as exercise riders, exercising any of the horses in their care and excludes grooms, assistant trainers and pony riders. All trainers at a Class A or B track are required to pay an industrial insurance premium for at least one horse. It is the trainer's responsibility to ensure all exercise riders in their employ are properly licensed by the commission.
(b) A trainer at a Class A or B track must pay all required annual industrial insurance premiums equal to the maximum number of horses in training on any given day, which covers exercise riders, during the calendar year that the trainer has both on and off the grounds of a racing association. A trainer is responsible for accurately reporting all horses as they enter and leave the grounds of a racing association and all horses in training off the grounds.
(c) For horses on the grounds of a Class A or B track, a trainer must count each horse under the trainer's care. Premiums will be calculated on the maximum number of horses in the trainer's care on any one day, even if the horse is stalled on the grounds for a day or less. (For example, if a trainer comes to Washington to enter or nominate his/her horse in one race and the horse is only on the grounds for one day, the trainer is required to pay the full industrial insurance premium for that one horse, except for short duration coverage as provided in subsection (4) of this section.) Pony horses will not be counted.
(i) For horses off the grounds, a trainer must count all horses in training that are subject to being ridden by licensed exercise riders, if the exercise riders are to be covered by the Washington labor and industries insurance under the horse industry account.
(ii) If any trainer increases the number of horses in training or racing, either on or off the grounds during the calendar year, the trainer is responsible to pay the additional premiums as provided in this section.
(iii) If any trainer decreases the number of horses in training or racing, either on or off the grounds during the calendar year, the trainer is not entitled to any refund as premiums are annual fees that are not prorated and are assessed on the maximum number of horses in training on any day during the calendar year.
(iv) It is the trainer's responsibility to maintain records and accurately report the number of horses in training (both on and off the grounds) for purposes of paying industrial insurance premiums required by this section. If at any time during the calendar year a trainer increases the number of horses in training or racing beyond the premium previously assessed, the trainer is responsible for immediately reporting and paying the additional premium owed.
(d) A trainer at a Class C track must pay industrial insurance premiums which covers exercise riders equal to the maximum number of different horses the trainer starts at the Class C tracks during the calendar year, or the maximum number of horses the trainer has in training, whichever is greater. All trainers at a Class C track are required to pay industrial insurance for at least one horse.
(i) If during the calendar year a horse is started by more than one trainer, that horse, for the purpose of calculating the annual industrial insurance premium a trainer is required to pay, will count as a different horse for each trainer.
(ii) It is the trainer's responsibility to maintain records and accurately report the number of different horses started or in training for the purpose of paying industrial insurance premiums required in this section. If at any time during the calendar year a trainer increases the number of different horses started or the total number of horses in training beyond the premium previously assessed, the trainer is responsible for immediately reporting and paying the additional premium owed.
(5) Short duration coverage.
(a) Trainers entering horses to run in Washington races will be allowed to obtain short duration industrial insurance coverage that will reduce the amount of industrial insurance premium a trainer has to pay to provide employees financial relief from injury. Short duration coverage may be purchased no sooner than seven days prior to the start of the live race meet where the trainer plans to run. The following conditions will apply for short duration coverage:
(i) Trainers who ship in to Class A or B race meets may purchase short duration industrial insurance coverage for thirty consecutive calendar days. Trainers who have purchased any annual coverage at Class A or B race meets including paying installment premiums are not eligible for short duration coverage. Thirty-day short duration coverage can be purchased for each trainer's base coverage. Separate thirty-day short duration coverage can be purchased for each groom, and/or assistant trainer and separate coverage can be purchased for each horse on the grounds, which cover the exercise rider. The premium for thirty-day coverage will be set by the department of labor and industries (rounded to the next whole dollar). A trainer may only purchase Class A or B race meet short duration coverage for three thirty-day periods per calendar year. If a trainer extends coverage for more than three thirty-day periods, the trainer will owe the annual premium for each groom and assistant trainer, and the annual premium for exercise rides (based on all horses on the grounds during the previous ninety-day coverage period). The premium owed for coverage extending past ninety days will be the annual premium, less what the trainer may have already purchased for each risk class.
(ii) Trainers who ship in to Class C race meets may purchase short duration industrial insurance coverage for seven consecutive calendar days. Seven-day short duration coverage can be purchased for each trainer's base premium. Separate seven-day short duration coverage can be purchased for each groom and assistant trainer. The premium for seven-day short duration coverage will be set by the department of labor and industries (rounded to the next whole dollar). A trainer may only purchase Class C race meet short duration coverage for three seven-day periods per calendar year. Class C race meet short duration industrial insurance coverage is not transferable to a Class A or B race meet.
(b) When applying for short duration coverage, a trainer must obtain a license and pay all applicable license and fingerprint fees required in WAC 260-36-085. The trainer is also required to ensure that each groom, assistant trainer, pony rider, and exercise rider hired by the trainer has a proper license. A trainer may only employ persons on the grounds of the racing association who are properly licensed by the commission. Prior to the end of each short duration coverage period a trainer must pay the short duration premium for any additional grooms, or assistant trainers (slots) and any additional horses brought on the grounds of a Class A or B race meet, or any additional horses started in a race at Class C race meets.
(c) Short duration coverage is only valid for the thirty-day period for Class A and B race meets or the seven-day period for Class C race meets and only covers workers while in the state of Washington.
(6) Installment program.
(a) As provided in subsections (1) through (4) of this section a trainer, at the time of licensing must pay the annual industrial insurance premiums for all employees, including assistant trainers and grooms, as well as premiums for horses in training to cover the exercise riders, and pony riders. However, a trainer may pay the annual industrial insurance premiums in installments as long as the horsemen's representative, through an agreement with the commission, agrees to assume financial responsibility and pay to the commission any delinquent industrial insurance premiums owed by trainers at the end of the racing season.
(b) A trainer who chooses to pay industrial insurance premiums in installments is obligated to make all installment payments of the annual industrial insurance premiums on the dates set annually by the executive secretary.
(i) The number of installment payments and percentages of each payment will be determined by the horsemen's representative and the executive secretary.
(ii) After the initial installment premium payment, if the trainer adds additional groom slots, assistant trainer slots, or owes additional horse premiums to cover exercise riders, the trainer must make a payment equal to all previous installments owed.
(c) Once a trainer makes an initial payment of industrial insurance, the trainer is responsible for the full annual premium. The total amount of premium owed will be considered undisputed under WAC 260-28-030, and failure to make any or all of the additional premium payments will be considered a violation. The board of stewards or executive secretary will have the authority to take action to collect the unpaid premium, including issuing a fine and suspending the trainer's license until the premium and fines are paid as provided in WAC 260-84-135.
(7) Reciprocal agreements. The state of Washington has reciprocal agreements with other states. Trainers shipping in from these jurisdictions who have industrial insurance from a reciprocal state need not obtain industrial insurance coverage so long as they comply with the conditions of RCW 51.12.120 and WAC 296-17-31009.
