Workers' Compensation
The formula for determining your company’s workers’ compensation rates is complex, but the concept behind it is simple - the more claims that your employee's file, the higher your rate will be. GMS partners with businesses to control their workers’ compensation insurance rates and protect them from costly claims.
Not Enough Time?
We get it, business owners have plenty of responsibilities. If you spend a lot of time – or even worse, not enough time – trying to find ways to lower workers’ compensation costs, a professional employer organization (PEO) may be a good fit for you. Our workers’ compensation management experts help employers control these costs and avoid the notable impacts of work-related injuries.
How Can I Lower My Workers’ Compensation Rates?
Workers’ compensation insurance costs can range from less than $100 to thousands of dollars per employee each year. Fortunately, GMS works hard to help you save money and prevent your workers from being injured on the job. There are two rate management strategies every business should implement for workers’ compensation - cost containment and loss prevention.
Cost Containment Strategies
You may not be a Fortune 500 company, but when you partner with GMS, you'll gain access to a risk management team that gives you Fortune 500 service. Our team of experts will help you qualify for a significant workers' compensation discount. We do this by minimizing your exposure, helping you keep good records, and completing other crucial best practices that keep your business compliant with OSHA and keep your experience modification number low.
Loss Prevention Strategies
Prevention is the best medicine, especially when it comes to your claims history. GMS will work with you to reduce the risk of workplace accidents so that your business has fewer, less severe claims over time.
Our loss prevention strategies include risk assessments, safety training, the development of safety manuals and guidelines, workplace inspections, OSHA compliance, and implement a drug-free and drug-testing program.
