Or. Admin. Code § 836-043-0087 - Producer Changes and Compensation
(1) The servicing carrier must pay a fee to
the licensed agency on all new and renewal policies after the policy is issued.
The servicing carrier shall pay the producer as premium is collected. The
servicing carrier must process and mail fee payments within 30 days after the
date the policy is issued or 30 days after the receipt of premium. The carrier
may withhold payments until an accumulative total of $25 per agency is reached.
However, the servicing carrier must pay the agency their fees upon request
regardless of the amount or if the withholding time period exceeds six months.
The fee payment also may be applied to return fees that the agency may owe to
the servicing carrier from other assigned risk policies for that agency. The
servicing carrier may not pay a producer fee on premium not actually
collected.
(2) The producer fee
paid by the servicing carrier shall be in accordance with the producer fee
percentage scales and shall be paid at the rate filed by the Plan Administrator
with the Director.
(3) It is the
responsibility of the servicing carrier to determine whether the producer is
properly licensed in the appropriate jurisdictions for payment of producer
fees. If the producer listed on the application is not properly licensed, or if
the employer designates a representative other than a licensed producer, the
servicing carrier shall accept the assignment but the producer fee will not be
paid. For all other purposes, the producer shall be treated as the producer of
record.
(4) The employer may
request a change to the licensed producer. The employer shall provide written
notice to the servicing carrier, generally in the form of a "producer of
record" letter. The request must be made prior to the date of renewal, or with
the consent of the servicing carrier at another agreed upon time.
