Definition: A class code is the classification a carrier or rating bureau uses to group similar businesses for pricing. Many states classify beauty salons and barber shops under workers’ comp code 9586.

Why it matters for salons and spas

The right code matters: a wrong classification can mean overpaying or a problem at audit.

Example

A med spa is classified differently from a hair salon because of its medical services.
