The Financial & Mathematical Proof for Return to Work

Location: Fred Rogers Center, St. Vincent College, Latrobe PA

Employers generally understand that bringing injured employees back to work helps keep claim costs down, but most do not realize the exact financial cost of not doing so, and therefore may have limits to how far they will go to bring an employee back while they are recovering. In this program, we will explore the actual financial impact that an injury will impact your premium - for every $1 that the insurance company spends on your claim, you will now know your premium will go up $X in paying them back for that injury.  Plus, you will learn the factors that that will multiply that payback.
