Premium

Worker's Comp premium is based on two key factors - the LCM your carrier has filed to use, and the total payroll you run over the policy term, which is multiplied by the rate to determine premium. Comparing premium to businesses in the same industry and of similar size can indicate how fair your WC insurance provider's costs are relative to the market.

  • Premium is Higher than 82% of peers.
  • In the last year, premium Increased by 7%. While peers Increased an average of 20%.

LCM Rate

LCMs have the largest effect on your WC costs. Carriers file LCM's which are multiplied with the state approved Loss Costs for your employment classifications to create your policy rates. Carrier Groups have several Carrier Tier's each with their own filing, allowing their underwriters to price aggressively to overly prudent depending on the risk.

  • The LCM of the Current Carrier is Very Good, in the 20th percentile compared to peers.

OSHA

Most employers with 10 or more employees are required to maintain injury and illness records, known as the 300 log. In the event of an inspection, this information will likely be requested. Even without injury or claim, the proper documentation should be readily available on a location by location basis. These logs are critical but simple to maintain.

  • Businesses with serious and/or repeat violations should be provided with risk management practices to eliminate unnecessary risk and minimize what must exist in current processes.
