1. An article of manufacture having a computer readable medium storing computer readable program code that is executed by a computer to implement a method to determine a final premium charge for workers compensation insurance associated with a risk, said medium comprising:
- computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer establishes communication over a network with said risk'"'"'s payroll processor and receives at said insurance carrier, in real-time over said network, a set of raw data elements, said payroll processor located remote from said insurance carrier and said set of raw data elements associated with an operating state of said risk and any of the following;
said risk'"'"'s employment practice, said risk'"'"'s payroll, or a modification to said risk'"'"'s payroll, said operating state comprising a plurality of the following;
number of employees, job classification, or payroll per employee;
computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer monitors said set of raw data elements received in real-time over said network;
computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer identifies and records a subset of said raw data elements among said set of raw data elements received in real-time from said risk'"'"'s payroll processor that have an identified relationship with any of, or a combination of, the following;
said risk'"'"'s business operation, insurability of said risk, character of said risk, or rating parameters associated with said risk'"'"'s policy;
computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer determines said final premium charge of workers compensation insurance of said risk based on a premium modification that increases or decreases a premium charge based on an evaluation of said recorded subset of raw data elements, wherein said final premium charge is adjustable by relating payroll characteristics obtained in real-time over a network from said risk'"'"'s payroll processor to predetermined actuarial rates; and
computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer outputs said determined final premium charge of workers compensation insurance.

Abstract
A system for monitoring a business'"'"'s operational characteristics and employee classifications, in real time, to obtain increased amounts of data relating to the total compensation for purposes of providing a more accurate determination of a cost of insurance for the risk, on a real-time basis, and to bill such charges directly to the risk according to their unique finance plan in direct relation to their payroll cycle.

7. An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium storing computer readable program code that is executed by a computer to implement a method to estimate a final premium charge for workers compensation insurance associated with a risk, said medium comprising:
-
computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer establishes communication over a network with said risk'"'"'s payroll processor and receives at said insurance carrier, in real-time over said network, a set of raw data elements, said payroll processor located remote from said insurance carrier and said set of raw data elements associated with an operating state of said risk and any of the following;
said risk'"'"'s employment practice, said risk'"'"'s payroll, or a modification to said risk'"'"'s payroll, said operating state comprising a plurality of the following;
number of employees, job classification, or payroll per employee;computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer monitors said set of raw data elements received in real-time over said network; computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer identifies and records a subset of said raw data elements among said set of raw data elements received in real-time from said risk'"'"'s payroll processor that have an identified relationship with any of, or a combination of, the following;
said risk'"'"'s business operation, insurability of said risk, character of said risk, or rating parameters associated with said risk'"'"'s policy;computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier identifies a trigger event associated with at least one of said raw data elements received in real-time from said payroll processor; computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier records trigger information associated with said trigger event; computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer determines said final premium charge of workers compensation insurance of said risk based on a premium modification that increases or decreases a premium charge based on an evaluation of said recorded subset of raw data elements and said recorded trigger information, wherein said final premium charge is adjustable by relating payroll characteristics obtained in real-time over a network from said risk'"'"'s payroll processor to predetermined actuarial rates; and computer readable program code stored in a storage at said insurance carrier when executed by said computer outputs said determined final premium charge of workers compensation insurance.

8. A business method implemented over a network comprising:
-
estimating a final premium charge for workers compensation insurance associated with a risk, said estimation implemented by executing computer readable program code stored on an article of manufacture having a computer readable medium storing, said estimation comprising; executing computer readable program code by said computer to establish a communication over a network with said risk'"'"'s payroll processor and receive at said insurance carrier, in real-time over said network, a set of raw data elements, said payroll processor located remote from said insurance carrier and said set of raw data elements associated with an operating state of said risk and any of the following;
said risk'"'"'s employment practice, said risk'"'"'s payroll, or a modification to said risk'"'"'s payroll, said operating state comprising a plurality of the following;
