Part 1- The Course and Scope Rule and its Gray Areas - Including a Discussion of Compensable Occupational Disease

For an injury to be compensable it must "arise out of and be in the course and scope" of the worker's employment. "Course and scope" is not always black and white; there is sometimes a bit of gray area. This session will illuminate some of the gray areas and guide the participant through some interpretations of "course and scope."

Part 2- Employees, Independent Contractors, General Contractors and Contractual Risk Transfer in Work Comp

Who qualifies as an "employee?" The answer can depend on statute, contract and the facts surrounding the relationship between the worker and the individual or entity making use of the worker's services. This session dissects employee/employer relationships to avoid surprises following a loss or at audit.

Part 3- When to Add Additional States - Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Problems

Potential coverage limit gaps or the complete loss of coverage are possible when employees work in states in which the employer has no specific location. To avoid these gaps or the loss of coverage requires recognition of the problems and knowledge of the available solutions. This session highlights the problems, focuses on the solutions and provides guidelines and rules that should be followed in deciding to name a state.

Part 4- How to Read, Understand and Explain the Experience Modification Worksheet

Learn the who, what, when, why and how of experience modification. Who is eligible for or required to have an experience modification factor? What is an experience modification factor and why are they used? And the major question, "How are experience mods calculated?"

The major focus of this class is on the "how." Students will spend the majority of this session studying the experience mod worksheet and learning the in’s and out’s of how the mod is calculated. Knowing this makes it easier to find the mistakes and help the client. Without this knowledge, you are at the mercy of the entity that develops the mod.
