Workers Compensation

Position

Aim for the development of a best practice workers’ compensation framework, that provides support for both the employer and the employee while not impacting the business financially.

Recommendations

• For members that have a consistent record of providing a safe working environment, there should be discounts on insurance premiums
• There should be an internal review process/ombudsman for poor decisions made by workers compensation insurance agents
• Employers affected by poor decisions made by workers compensation insurance agents should be reimbursed and/or have their insurance premiums reduced
• Red tape associated with workers compensation should be reduced.
