America is often referred to as a melting pot of ethnicity’s. This diversity, which is a great source of strength for our country and economy can also cause specific challenges in the workers compensation universe. Especially in regards to claims management.
Different cultures may respond to back to work policies in a unique ways. This is not to say that one culture may respond in a better way than another culture– just differently. This is an area worth pondering as we work closely with our injured employees to nurse them back to being productive workers after an accident.
Here is a great article that goes into some detail about this very interesting topic.

All funding sources regardless if they are commercial banks, private equity, or asset based accounts receivables firms, desire as much certainty as possible in the businesses they finance. Unfortunately as we have been finding out, the ACA has added a great deal of uncertainty to many areas of the staffing business — especially in the area of margin optimization and back office management. Most likely these ACA pricing vagaries will impact our industry over the next few years since we will not be able to predict true costs of our temporary labor, and hence our net profits. All this potentially may hamper your relationship with your funding source.
Here is a great short article about how the unknown costs of ACA on the labor market is negatively implanting business in general and staffing specifically,

A temporary staffing firm says it will pay up to $10,000 in reward money to employees reporting co-workers they suspect of committing workers compensation fraud.
AtWork Group, a Knoxville, Tenn.-based staffing company franchisor, says it is putting up 3-foot-by-4-foot reward posters in its branch locations announcing the offer.
The company hopes the reward money and posters will serve as a psychological deterrent to “alarming trend” of workers comp fraud, said Jason Leverant, AtWork Group’s chief operating officer.
“We believe our program will not only make it easier for employees and others to report suspected workers compensation fraud, but by offering a financial reward, we will see a reduction in the number of fraudulent claims filed by workers each year,” Mr. Leverant said in a statement.
But the reward offer from comes with terms and conditions that must be met. For instance, the amount of reward paid out will depend on the successful prosecution of a perpetrator and the monetary amount of their fraud.
Employees who want to remain anonymous when reporting fraud, rather than publicly helping with a prosecution, would receive less money, Mr. Leverant said.
With the company’s insurance costs increasing, deterring fraud is a way to promote savings, Mr. Leverant said in a telephone interview.

by David Schek | Aug 19, 2013 | Professional Employer Organization (PEO), Staffing Company, Workers Comp, Workers' Compensation Insurance
Besides the obvious answer that a Professional Employer Organization will usually offer lower rates, there are many other important differences. For example, your PEO is your business partner in helping your staffing business maintain safe operations, so it can offer lower rates than your competitors who use the State Fund.
Your PEO partnership is also unique in a few additional ways:
1. Your PEO will work with you on making sure you receive the lowest possible legitimate rates for your various job codes. Since the State knows it is usually the “last resort” for your workers compensation insurance, they really have no incentive to help you lower your rates.
2. Your PEO will work harder to investigate accidents and claims. The PEO has an economic incentive to only pay legitimate claims, since they do not want to lose you as a client (if your rates should increase from fraudulent claims ) and they are responsible as an insurer if your claims exceed your premiums. Conversely, the State Fund, knowing they are your insurer of last resort, has little incentive to investigate claims.
3. The State Funds staff are usually “9-5ers.” If you have workers compensation needs after hours, like receiving a rate for a new code, then you will have to wait until your request meets the States time table.
These are all reasons that if you are still using the State Funds for workers compensation insurance, you should get quoted with a Professional Employer Organization ASAP.
