Managing Costs of Workers' Compensation Insurance

The best way to manage premium costs is to ensure that you are paying the correct amount.

Review job classifications annually.

Incorrect worker classification can cost you money. Since premiums are largely based on job classifications, a review ensures that seasonal, part-time, and full-time workers are classified correctly.

Review your policy regularly.

This helps ensure that your premium accounts for new hires, departures, and promotions. TIP: Using a pay-as-you-go method ensures you pay the correct premium with each pay cycle.

Ask questions and be proactive.

Talk to a Brotherhood Mutual agent about ways to reduce risks associated with worker injuries.
