Code Description
Theater-All Other EE's
Workers' compensation class code 9154 covers "Theater-All Other EE's" — Florida amusement, entertainment, sports, and recreation industry employees. Florida's world-famous tourism and entertainment sector — including theme parks, professional sports venues, golf courses, theaters, and amusement facilities — employs hundreds of thousands of workers across a wide range of NCCI classifications.
The 2025 Florida filed rate for code 9154 is $1.53 per $100 of payroll. Historical rates: 2022: $1.63, 2023: $1.79, 2024: $1.63, 2025: $1.53. Rates for this code have declined 6.1% since 2022 — part of Florida's broader workers' comp market improvement driven by tort reform and loss-cost reductions approved by FLOIR. Entertainment workers face injury risks that vary widely by role, from ride operators and stunt performers with high physical exposure to box office staff and concession workers with more moderate risk. Florida's outdoor entertainment venues also create heat illness and weather exposure concerns for workers in an outdoor environment.
Florida entertainment employers must manage a complex mix of full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees across multiple job classifications. Accurate payroll segregation — particularly between performers, ride operators, maintenance, and administrative staff — is essential for proper workers' comp classification and cost management.
Florida's major entertainment employers often self-insure or use captive structures due to the scale and predictability of their claims. Smaller entertainment venues, golf courses, and recreational facilities typically benefit from specialty workers' comp programs tailored to the entertainment industry, or from working with a PEO experienced in Florida's tourism economy.
