Description

Do you need a refresher course on how Washington’s Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) determines state workers’ comp rates? Do you know why you get a big retro premium refund one year and none the next? Are you interested in how other companies turn their workers’ comp costs into a manageable business expense? This class will give you a thorough understanding of the workers’ compensation system in Washington, the objectives of the system, the financial underpinnings and future challenges. (4 hours)

Determine how your company’s rates are set.
