We have several phone calls pertaining to the classification of service writers in this industry.    The New York State Insurance Fund currently does not recognize service writers as a classification for the group.  We need to approach the rating board of the NYSIF and explain to them what the duties of these types of employees are.  If you are interested in making a difference please answer the questions below and return them or email them to the association.

---

• Does your shop currently employ service writers?________  If no, do you intend on hiring one in the future? ________

• How are your employees classified? (Check all that apply)

_____ Technicians (mechanics)

_____ Clerical

_____ Service writers (would be classified as salespeople)

_____ Business Owners

• What are the rates being charged for the different classifications?

______________________________________

• How often do your service writers enter the shop area?

______________________________________

• Do your service writers drive the cars in and out of the bays?

______________________________________

As soon as we receive these surveys we will approach the NYSIF rating board and discuss with them the reasons for the classification of service writers.

Thank you for your participation.
