Refer because the application materials conflict materially on employee count: one document reports 3 full-time and 0 part-time employees, while another document and the broker email report 22 full-time and 13 part-time employees. The discrepancy may change the rating band and should be resolved before proceeding. Retail is an eligible class; the reported 76% turnover does not trigger the restaurant-specific referral rule.

Hello,

The materials we received report different employee counts. Document 1 lists 3 full-time and 0 part-time employees, while document 2 and the email body list 22 full-time and 13 part-time employees. Please confirm the current full-time and part-time employee counts and provide corrected or supporting documentation so we can resolve the discrepancy.

Thank you,
Harbor Specialty Underwriters
