For most small business owners, handling workers compensation poses many frustrations. Rising costs, confusing regulations, tedious paperwork, and time spent away from business priorities can quickly become overwhelming. However, partnering with an experienced PEO alleviates these workers comp headaches so you can remain focused on your customers and core operations.
When managing workers compensation alone, companies face numerous challenges. Finding affordable carriers and policies each year becomes a burden as rates increase annually. Processing required state filings and paperwork properly demands too much time and vigilance to stay compliant. Reporting claim incidents accurately and promptly proves difficult without expertise. Handling open claims cases and coordinating with adjusters distracts from the business. Facilitating return-to-work programs and modified duty assignments for injured team members turns into a struggle. Maintaining OSHA recordkeeping and posting compliance risks fines and violations. Preventing experience modifier increases after audits seems impossible without dedicated staff. And staying current on changing workers comp regulations and laws requires constant monitoring.
For small business owners without extensive HR experience, the many complexities of managing workers compensation in-house quickly spiral out of control – even when working with an insurance broker. The entire workers comp system is structured for large corporations with entire teams focused solely on risk management. But there is a much better solution available – partnering with an experienced PEO for your workers compensation needs.
