Workers compensation codes are classifications used by work comp insurance companies to classify the degree of workplace risk exposure for different jobs. A clerical office worker, for example, has a lower risk of being injured on the job than a firefighter or a roofer. The classification system is published and maintained by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI) in a book called the Scopes of Basic Manual Classifications, and contains detailed descriptions of each classification. It is updated annually, and can be purchased from their website.

***** adding to the answer above******

Not all states follow NCCI Classifications. California for example has their own classification Manual. PA & DE, are completely different from NCCI codes, and have mostly 3 digit class codes, instead of the NCCI 4 digit codes. PA & DE also have a separate classification system for Staffing Employees. Although the above answer is true in a way, clerical employees can only be assigned to a clerical class code if and only if, they are in an office 100% of the time. A desk worker in a tiny room who works at a mechanic filing paperwork, that walks through the shop area multiple times a day, and doesnt have a separate exit, needs to be coded as the governing code of the Auto Body shop, and will not take a clerical code, even though their job is Clerical work. Misclassifications are typically the number one issue on a WC policy, and ive seen alot of insureds having to cough up the Additional premium amounts on the audit because they are unsure how to classify.
