Workers Compensation Product Model
To understand how the Workers Compensation application works, you need to figure out how the General Liability product is built.
The product model is like the blueprint of the application. The product model underpins all the business processes used in the General Liability line of business. To learn about the components of product models in Vlocity Insurance, see the Insurance and Health Product Models.
You can add only one Business but multiple Location items in the Workers Compensation model.
Insured Items
The top-level insured items for the Workers Compensation product model are:
Name |
Product Code |
Product Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Business (WC) |
wcBusiness |

Location |
locationWorkersComp |
Insured Item Spec |
This item contains all the attributes from the Location Terms attribute category. |
Payroll Classification |
ncciPayrollWC |
Insured Party Spec |
This item contains attributes from the Policy Terms attribute category. |
Values for these attributes are collected from the customer when they're shopping for insurance. Vlocity Insurance uses many of these attributes to rate the Workers Compensation product.
Many of these attributes correspond to user inputs in the quote OmniScript and quote UI.
Coverages
A coverage spec you create and attach to a product becomes a coverage that your users interact with in quote and policy purchase flows. They define the required and optional coverages on an insurance product.
The Workers Compensation product model contains the following coverage specs:
Coverage Spec Name |
Product Code |
Required/Optional |
|---|---|---|
Managed Care |
wcCoverageDesc |
Required |
Employers Liability |
wcEmpLiblty |
Required |
Waiver of Subrogation |
wcWaiverOfSub |
Optional |
Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act Coverage |
wcLongshoremen |
Optional |
Your users interact with coverages in quote and policy flows so it's important that you create them wisely. To learn more about coverage specs, see Child Specs for Root Products.
Root Products
The root product spec is the container for the Workers Compensation product models. The system uses the data stored in this product model in downstream business processes, including quoting, issuing policies, and adjudicating claims.
The root products contain a number of coverages, all of which are associated with the root product. This structure makes the Workers Compensation product a single instance product model. This means that whenever a quote is rated out for this product, if multiple businesses are included, each has the same level of coverage.
But with this structure, we're expecting that our customers will insure only one business per policy. Within the product, you can customize your quotes by adding different coverages and modifying their respective deductibles.
To learn about how to set up root product specs, see Root Product Specs.
Attributes
Some product attributes are mapped to rating inputs. Attribute data is collected during a business process like quoting and passed on to product services to calculate prices.
All the attributes used in the Workers Compensation product models and the insured item spec, insured party spec, and coverage specs are defined in the Vlocity Attribute Designer. Attributes are arranged into Attribute Categories.
Want to see a complete list of the attributes used in the Superior Business and Economy Business product models? See the Workers Compensation Attribute Catalog.
In the Vlocity Attribute Designer, basic information is defined for all attributes, such as name and attribute code.
The attribute's value data type, available values, default selected value, rating status, and other specifics are configured on the insured item spec, insured party spec, coverage spec, or root product spec.
Simulate Rating the Product
We've set up ratings on the Simulate tab on the root product spec to simulate rating the Workers Compensation product models. If you want to figure out how we've set these up, see Workers Compensation Rating.
