Construction Staffing Company Hired & Non-Owned Auto: Pricing Methodology

What rating basis does Hired & Non-Owned Auto use for Construction Staffing Companies?

The pricing unit for Hired & Non-Owned Auto on Construction Staffing Companies is per employee + flat hired-auto factor. Carriers multiply a per-unit rate (the base loss cost set by ISO, modified by carrier-specific factors) by the exposure to produce the base premium.

This is the most important number on the policy — it controls how renewal premiums move as your operation grows or contracts. The audit at policy expiration trues up the actual exposure against the estimated exposure used at binding, producing return premium or additional premium.

The class-code decision for Construction Staffing Companies on Hired & Non-Owned Auto

The ISO class assignment for Construction Staffing Companies on Hired & Non-Owned Auto is a judgment call by the underwriter, guided by class manuals and standard operating definitions. The construction staffing company provides the operational facts; the underwriter maps those facts to a class.

The wrong class is the most common cause of overpayment on Hired & Non-Owned Auto accounts. We recommend asking the broker to confirm the assigned class code on every binder and comparing it against prior years — inconsistencies often point to a correction opportunity.

The audit basis on Construction Staffing Companies Hired & Non-Owned Auto

Hired & Non-Owned Auto policies on Construction Staffing Companies are typically audited at expiration. The auditor reviews actual exposure data for the policy period — payroll, revenue, vehicles, locations — and trues up the premium against what was estimated at binding.

If actual exposure exceeds estimated, you owe additional premium ("audit premium"). If actual exposure was lower, the carrier refunds the difference ("return premium"). Audit results that significantly diverge from the original estimate often trigger underwriting questions at the next renewal.

Why two carriers price the same Construction Staffing Companies risk differently on Hired & Non-Owned Auto

Two carriers can quote the same construction staffing company on Hired & Non-Owned Auto and produce premiums that differ 15-30%.
