Workers comp class code 9014 for janitorial bids
You may encounter class 9014 when reviewing insurance for contract janitorial work. Confirm the classification and cost for your business, work locations and actual operations with your insurance provider before using them in a cleaning bid.

What the primary sources show
In its April 5, 2021 COVID-19 FAQ, NCCI discusses routine surface cleaning as an example where class 9014 may be appropriate. It distinguishes that example from hazardous-material remediation and explicitly notes that states can have exceptions. This is dated explanatory guidance, rather than a current classification manual for every state.
The Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Insurers Association assigned-risk lookup lists 9014 as a valid class for janitorial contractors and drivers. At this check, it displays separate 2026 and 2027 periods and marks the 2026 row current. That program reference does not establish your company’s classification or an insurer’s quote. We do not reproduce its rate as a general cleaning-business cost.
Bring the actual scope to the insurance review
Give your provider a description of the business and the work included in each contract. Ask them to confirm:
- The applicable state, policy period and classification for the work you perform.
- How window cleaning, post-construction cleanup or specialist remediation in your scope should be treated.
- The payroll or other cost basis, rate, experience modifier and any minimums or additional charges to include.
- Which records you should retain when work spans locations or different operations.
A job title, class number or online rate table alone cannot confirm those answers for your company. Keep the insurance assumptions alongside the reviewed scope.
Use reviewed costs when estimating labor
Use the workers comp assumptions confirmed for your business when reviewing a labor estimate. BidLoom’s labor burden calculator helps you explore supported cost inputs; it does not assign an insurance class, issue coverage or produce an insurance quote. Review the tool’s assumptions and exclusions before carrying an estimate into a bid.
Review task production-rate units when estimating hours, and use the cleaning bid glossary to keep scope, labor costs and client pricing clear. For periodic extraction, see the carpet cleaning scope guide.
