Texas Raises Adjusted Gross Annual Payroll Requirement for Seasonal Workers

The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (TDI-DWC) has determined that the adjusted annual payroll requirement of an employer for the coverage of seasonal workers has increased from $52,287 to $53,124.

This is an increase of 1.6 percent based on the inflation rate calculated by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

This gross payroll amount will be used in year 2014 to apply against an agricultural employer’s year 2013 gross payroll, and to determine whether a farm or ranch worker is covered by workers’ compensation.
