Under California Labor Code Sections 62.5 and 62.6, every year, each employer is <br />assessed a fee by the DIR to support the administration of the State's workers' compensation program. <br />Labor Code Sections 62.5 and 62.6 require allocation of the total assessment between insured and self- <br />insured employers. <br />The Human Resources Department oversees the administration of the City's workers' compensation <br />program. The City is a self-insured employer for purposes of workers' compensation, and, for the reasons <br />discussed above, is required to pay an annual assessment fee to the DIR to maintain its self-insured status. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />32 <br />
