Reducing workers compensation rates depends on developing a great relationship with your Workers Compensation “SWAT Team.” Your SWAT Team should include your Agent or Broker, the carriers accident investigation manager, and your internal workers compensation manager. Your Team should be ready to step into action the moment that an accident occurs.
Communication and great follow up is critical for your SWAT teams success. Everyone’s goal has to be to keep your workers compensation costs as legitimately low as possible.
As a staffing owner, everyday may seem like there are 1000 new challenges. A well prepared SWAT Team should be able to update you at any time as to the status of each work place accident. They should be able to share their plan of action for each accident and injury. Most importantly, since your Agent/ Broker and Carrier all make commissions on your policy, they should be ready to assist you in all aspects of reducing your workers compensation costs.
Please feel free to contact me at 202-302-1212 to talk about your particular workers compensation issues, or to request a new workers compensation quote.

Now that Fall is just around the corner and staffing owners are anticipating their workers compensation needs for 2012, I am asked by many staffing companies where is the best place to easily check out a variety of workers compensation options. My answer sometimes surprises them but it is the American Staffing Association E- directory. When you go to the ASA site, you will find an E-directory comprised of many specialized staffing suppliers. There you will find a section for Workers Compensation, and you will find Work Comp Staffing Solutions listed among a half a dozen other providers or brokers of workers compensation solutions.
Since workers compensation is such an important part of your business and can make a significant impact on your bottom line, I always suggest that a staffing company talk to these various providers and determine which company is the best fit for your needs.
Please feel free to contact me at 202-302-1212 about getting a workers compensation quote for your company, or just to discuss the various work comp options that can save your company money.

It is true that the increase in your Workers Comp rates following an employee’s death, are often less than when an employee experiences a non fatal but very serious workers compensation injury. Though still, an employees death will significantly impact your future work comp rates. Below is a list of industries ranked by work place fatalities. If you intend to staff the industries at the top of this list, you should expect relatively high workers compensation rates; and you really need to make sure that you help your client create a safe working environment.
- Construction: 780; 17.2 percent
- Transportation and warehousing: 657; 14.4 percent
- Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting: 600; 13.2 percent
- Professional and business services: 373; 8.2 percent
- Manufacturing: 324; 7.1 percent
- Retail trade: 302; 6.6 percent
- Public administration: 301; 6.6 percent
- Leisure and hospitality: 245; 5.4 percent
- Education and health services: 230; 5.1 percent
- Other services (repair and maintenance, personal and laundry services, religious organizations): 186; 4.1 percent
I look forward to speaking to you about your workers compensation rates and would be glad to provide a FREE workers compensation quote. Please call me at 202-302-1212 at your convenience.

Have you ever talked to people who saw a traffic accident and they all had slightly different versions of what happened, and who may have been at fault during the accident? Usually a good accident investigator will want to talk to as many witnesses as possible and try to piece together exactly what happened at the scene of the accident. Well this process is no different than when a carrier’s comp representative tries to put together the facts surrounding a workers compensation claim. The more people they can talk to that had some familiarly with the accident, the better and clearer picture they have for analyzing what happened and who may be at fault.
Therefore as a staffing owner and employer it makes economic sense to add all the relevant witnesses to the First Injury Report. This process also puts the employee on notice that their version of events will not be the only one examined in determining fault and legitimate degree of injury!
Please feel free to call me at 202-302-1212 to chat about this blog and other ideas to keep your worker compensation low; as well as receive a workers compensation quote that could lower your rates.

The short answer is no. It is not legal to ask specific questions about an applicants health history, unless it pertains directly to the applicants ability to perform a certain job. Having said this, as an employer who is trying to keep their Workers Compensation Costs as low as legally possible, is there anything that can be discussed in an interview regarding workers compensation? As a we have all learned when hiring an employee for short term or long term assignments, past workplace behavior is often an excellent predictor of future performance. The last thing any employer wants to do is hire a workers compensation malingerer.
There are a couple appropriate questions that an employer can ask that may give insights about the employees relationship to workers compensation as well as other issues in their past employment experiences. For instance, you can ask an applicant if they have had any breaks in their employment history, and if so, follow up with an inquiry about why that break took place. You can also ask an applicant an open ended question about what they think about workers compensation insurance. Again while you can not ask about the applicants individual history of workers compensation, by asking an open ended question, you may find out alot of useful information about the applicant.
I look forward to continuing to help everyone wth their workers compensation challenges. Please feel free to contact Work Comp Staffing Solutions for a Workers Compensation quote at 202-302-1212.
Have a great Summer
