Refer 92.0% confidence that the underwriter agrees

Retail is an eligible class. The account has 28.5 FTE, no prior EPL claims, and no planned layoffs; the elevated turnover does not trigger the restaurant-specific referral guideline.

Schedule modification 5% 95.0% confidence. Turnover above 50%: +10%; employee handbook: -5%. Net schedule debit: +5%.
