When I owned my own multi state, 15K+ employee staffing company for 16 years, I often had discussions with my Professional Employer Organization (PEO) workers compensation risk management specialist about how I could control my workers compensation insurance costs. My PEO representative would remind me that the easiest and most direct way to lower my premiums, was to make sure that an injured worker is offered light duty assignments as soon as they get the green light from the medical doctor treating their injury.
I followed that advice and always maintained a very low mod. Below is a GREAT article about best practices for using Light Duty effectively.
