Full job description

The duties that the incumbent of the vacancy will be expected to perform. Duties Description The New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF) provides Workers Compensation Insurance to New York employers, and premiums are determined by employers' applicable payrolls. Premium auditors perform reviews of employers' payrolls, financial and other pertinent records, as well as physical operations, to verify reported payrolls and operations for specified policy periods. This is done in compliance with Workers' Compensation Insurance laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines. Auditors will need to apply professional accounting and auditing standards and principles alongside the Workers Compensation guidelines. These reviews are usually done in a meeting with the employer or a designate at their location. An employer may opt for a virtual interactive video conference where they provide records on their computer screen for the auditor’s review or choose to have the review done remotely by uploading all records to our secure site for the auditor to review and discuss with them thereafter. Appointees will receive a combination of structured training, on-the-job training, and/or practical job performance to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to function at the full performance level.*Please note that Travel Percentage listed is subject to change.*
