Class Code 9067
Clubs – Boys And Girls
Class Code 9067 covers paid staff who operate youth clubs and organized programs for children and adolescents, such as Boys & Girls Club branches and similar community youth centers. The California pure premium rate for this classification is $1.457 per $100 of payroll, which helps determine workers' compensation costs for employers running supervised youth programs.
What Class Code 9067 Covers
This classification applies to operations that run supervised recreational, educational and social programs for children and teens at fixed club sites and during organized activities. Typical covered operations include after‑school programs, homework/tutoring sessions, arts and crafts, intramural sports, summer day camps run at the club site, meal programs, and on‑site custodial and kitchen work supporting those programs. Administrative staff who manage membership, scheduling and registration at a club location are also included. Regularly scheduled volunteers who receive taxable stipends or payroll must be reported under this classification; however, employees who spend substantial time driving club vehicles or performing heavy commercial maintenance may require additional or different classification for those duties.

Common Injury Risks
Understanding the $1.457 Rate
The approved pure premium rate of $1.457 per $100 of payroll represents the estimated cost of claim payments (losses) for this class before insurer expenses and adjustments. To compute a base premium, multiply payroll (in hundreds) by 1.457, then insurers apply rate tier loads, experience modification (XMod), policy fees, and state assessments to determine the total premium an employer pays. Final cost is affected by your claims history, accurate job classification, safety programs, return‑to‑work practices, and the proportion of higher‑risk duties (for example, frequent driving or heavy maintenance).
Cal/OSHA Compliance Requirements
Employers operating youth clubs must maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) and provide job‑specific training (first aid, behavior management, and equipment safety). Title 8 requirements relevant to club operations include first aid/CPR readiness, bloodborne pathogen precautions when providing medical care, and heat illness prevention for outdoor activities. Serious work‑related injuries and hospitalizations must be reported to Cal/OSHA within required timeframes; employers should also document incident investigations and corrective actions.
How Key HR Helps Employers Under Class Code 9067
A PEO like Key HR can help clubs accurately classify payroll, implement an IIPP and job‑specific training (CPR/first aid, behavior de‑escalation, playground and sports safety), and centralize claims handling to contain costs. Key HR can administer background‑check protocols, vehicle and driver screening policies, return‑to‑work programs, and aggregated experience management to lower premiums and improve compliance for California operations.

Are volunteer coaches and unpaid volunteers covered under Class Code 9067?
Unpaid volunteers are typically not reported as payroll and are not classified under 9067, but any volunteer receiving a taxable stipend, salary, or payroll‑reported compensation should be included. Maintain clear records distinguishing unpaid volunteers from paid staff to ensure proper classification and coverage.
What if my staff regularly transport kids on field trips—does 9067 still apply?
Standard on‑site duties fall under 9067, but if employees spend substantial time driving club vehicles or performing commercial transportation, payroll for those driving duties may need separate classification and expose you to higher rates; you should also enforce DMV checks, valid licenses, vehicle maintenance logs, and travel safety policies.
What practical steps reduce workers' comp costs for a youth club?
Implement targeted training (CPR/first aid, behavior management, sports safety), enforce site safety checklists, document incident reports promptly, run background and DMV checks for staff, and use progressive return‑to‑work programs. Consistent safety practices and quick claims management materially lower experience modifiers and future premium.
