[Policy Information](https://help.beaconmutual.com/policy-information?hsLang=en) # How are classifications determined for employees, executive officers, and excluded individuals? ## Classifications are based on each individual’s duties and the employer’s business operations. Report accurate information to your independent insurance agent so the correct class codes are included on applications, renewals, and policy changes. **Employees –** Classifications of your employees should be reported to your independent insurance agent as soon as possible. **Executive Officers** – Executive Officers will be included or excluded based upon policy information and the evidence supplied by the DWC11. Form DWC11 must be filed with the RI DLT and supplied to Beacon. If form DWC11 is not supplied at time of policy issuance but subsequently submitted, changes will occur prospectively and reconciled at policy expiration.NCCI executive officer minimum and maximum payrolls will be charged. For example, on a multi class code policy, the officer(s) could be assigned to class code 8810 or other appropriate class code based on their duties. A single class code policy will assign the officer(s) to that single class code on the policy. **Excluded Individuals –** Excluded individuals require form DWC11R to be filed with the RI DLT and supplied to Beacon. Absent this documentation all individuals will be included. Adjustment to the included/excluded rules will take place on a go forward basis only **PYG Policy Only –** Upon set up and subsequent to your first payroll report, the officer information should be reviewed in Beacon Pay As You Go. If changes to the officer assignments are required, you should contact your agent as changes to your policy must be initiated by your agent.   - [Getting Started](https://help.beaconmutual.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Portal Help](https://help.beaconmutual.com/portal-help?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Online Portal](https://help.beaconmutual.com/portal-help?hsLang=en#online-portal) - [Claims](https://help.beaconmutual.com/claims?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Claim Reporting](https://help.beaconmutual.com/claims?hsLang=en#claim-reporting) - [Medical Claims Inquiry](https://help.beaconmutual.com/claims?hsLang=en#medical-claims-inquiry) - [Claims Payment](https://help.beaconmutual.com/claims?hsLang=en#claims-payment) - [Payments](https://help.beaconmutual.com/payments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Premium Payments](https://help.beaconmutual.com/payments?hsLang=en#premium-payments) - [Pay As You Go](https://help.beaconmutual.com/pay-as-you-go?hsLang=en) - [Safety](https://help.beaconmutual.com/safety?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Beacon Online University](https://help.beaconmutual.com/safety?hsLang=en#beacon-online-university) - [Loss Prevention](https://help.beaconmutual.com/safety?hsLang=en#loss-prevention) - [Ergonomics](https://help.beaconmutual.com/ergonomics?hsLang=en) - [Policy Information](https://help.beaconmutual.com/policy-information?hsLang=en#main-content) - [ARGO](https://help.beaconmutual.com/policy-information?hsLang=en#argo) - [Premium Audit](https://help.beaconmutual.com/premium-audit?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Online Audit](https://help.beaconmutual.com/premium-audit?hsLang=en#online-audit) - [Payroll](https://help.beaconmutual.com/premium-audit?hsLang=en#payroll) - [Phone Audit](https://help.beaconmutual.com/premium-audit?hsLang=en#phone-audit) - [Pay As You Go](https://help.beaconmutual.com/premium-audit?hsLang=en#pay-as-you-go) - [Temp & Leasing Agencies](https://help.beaconmutual.com/temp-leasing-agencies?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Safety](https://help.beaconmutual.com/temp-leasing-agencies?hsLang=en#safety) - [Policy Information](https://help.beaconmutual.com/temp-leasing-agencies?hsLang=en#policy-information) - [Agent Support](https://help.beaconmutual.com/agent-support?hsLang=en) - [Agency Quoting Center](https://help.beaconmutual.com/agency-quoting-center?hsLang=en) - [En Español](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Prevención de Seguridad](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#prevenci%C3%B3n-de-seguridad) - [Servicios de Ergonomía](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#servicios-de-ergonom%C3%ADa) - [Seminarios y Entrenamientos de Seguridad](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#seminarios-y-entrenamientos-de-seguridad) - [Beacon Online University](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#beacon-online-university) - [Entrenamiento en Español](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#entrenamiento-en-espa%C3%B1ol) - [Online Portal - Portal en Linea](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#online-portal-portal-en-linea) - [Preguntas Frecuentes de Reclamos](https://help.beaconmutual.com/en-espa%C3%B1ol?hsLang=en#preguntas-frecuentes-de-reclamos)    [**© 2026 Beacon Mutual Workers’ Compensation Insurance.**](https://www.beaconmutual.com/)All rights reserved.
