Get employees back to work quickly to keep work comp costs down

Image
In the past I have spoken to clients regarding a particular workers compensation claim affecting them and have asked if they have brought the employee back to work yet. Too many times the answer is no, they have nothing for that employee to do since said employee is not 100% and unable to perform their specific job prior to their workers compensation injury/claim. The problem with this is that too often employers miss the point that even though an employee can't perform in the position they were in prior to their injury, it behooves the employer to create some type of alternative task/job the employee can do until such time they are able to resume their normal duties. Bringing that employee back to work means that work comp benefits /payments in that particular claim are being curtailed, thereby saving the employer potentially more being paid out, while adding to their experience mod and driving their overall work comp expenses up.

Delaware Business Insurance Update From CNC Insurance Associates Inc. " The Sharing Economy and Insurance" 8-5-15

The "sharing economy" is on the rise.  Young consumers are looking to save costs by sharing everything. Housing, rides, personal property, technology, are just some of the areas where people are sharing expenses. So how will the insurance industry react?  The industry is not built on sharing insurance policies.  An insurance policy is a contract between the insurance company and the named insured.

The future consumer will want to share risks in a moments notice. This also p...

Delaware Business Insurance Update from CNC Insurance Associates, "Please Read Your Contracts" 3-31-14

Most business owners will sign contracts in the course of business, but will never read them. When problems arise however then the terms in the contract are discovered and usually they are not good for the business owner. Today's contracts are very much loaded in favor of the lessor, the one that lets the contract. The business owner who signs them does not realize that all the terms go against them until it is too late.  Make sure you read every contract before you sign. Understand who is responsible for damages and watch words like "hold harmless" and  "indemnification". Get your attorney to review the wording and get your insurance broker to make sure your insurance can cover the terms of the contract.  Don't take contracts for granted,  read , read , read, before you sign. Until next time be careful out there and know your risks. G. Kevin Nemith, President of CNC Insurance Associates, Small Business Insurance Center Serving, DE, MD, PA, NJ, and VA ww...
