Employee Misclassification – Another Reader Question

February 27, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Employee Misclassification – Shareholders and Officers

Avoid Employee Misclassification in naming shareholders and officers.

Vector Graphic of Employee Misclassification Icon

I received another question on the pitfalls of misclassifying employees. In California, there was a company that had been advising employers to exploit a loophole in the labor code to avoid their workers comp obligations by classifying workers as shareholders and corporate officers.  

Premium Auditors are trained to look for and recognize shareholders and officers that should not be listed as such in your worker’s compensation policy or company records.   In other words, this type of employee designation causes auditors to disallow any shareholders or officers exemptions from the payroll records.  In the short-term this may have worked, but in the long term the method failed often and left the employer with an unexpectedly large premium audit bill. 

In most states, shareholders and corporate officers are exempted from the remuneration (payroll) figures for employers.  Giving a rank-and-file employee a position title such as Vice President or any executive title does not guarantee an automatic exemption.  If any company gives you advice to try this method, please avoid them at all costs. This is very illegal.  The company in California that was giving this advice is being pursued very heavily by the California Attorney General.  

We would never advise a company to try this method.  The Workers Comp premium auditor will catch this at the end of the policy year, so the advice to try this method is basically worthless.  The only money earned by this method is the advisory company getting paid for useless advice.

As we have mentioned in the last two posts, there is nothing wrong with questioning or disputing the workers comp classification codes or anything else in an employer’s workers compensation policy or premium audit. This is allowed by your Workers Comp policy.

Misclassification Confusion – Subcontractors vs. Classification Codes

February 25, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Misclassification Confusion Of Employees and Subcontractors

The misclassification confusion  applies to subcontractors not employees. We received a few emails today concerning yesterday’s post.   There are two different types of misclassification of employees.  One is a much more serious situation than the other.

Vector Graphic of Man Misclassification Confusion Using Magnifying Glass

The first involves misclassifying an employee as a subcontractor. If it can be proven the employer purposely misclassified an employee as a subcontractor to avoid paying Worker Comp premiums and taxes, this is a very serious violation of the Workers Comp insurance and tax laws.  Operating a business under these circumstances can result in very serious consequences and should be avoided at all costs.

The second situation involves an employer disputing or attempting to correct their employees job classification codes.

 Please do not let all of the press coverage over misclassifying employees as subcontractors vs. employees discourage you from making sure the employees are properly classified under the Workers Compensation policy.  We have never seen an instance where an insurance carrier implied or accused an employer of doing something illegal by questioning how their Workers Comp policy is constructed.

However, we do discourage any employer from disputing an insurance policy or premium audit without some basis other than “we paid too much in premiums.”  This may possibly ruin a great working relationship with the respective insurance company.

Types of Misclassification – One Bad and One Just Needs Repairing

February 24, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Types of Misclassification  = Employee Status – Not Same As Wrong Class Codes

Two types of misclassification of employee status- and they are not the same whatsoever.

We have received emails over the last few weeks concerning various Departments of Insurance pursuing employers for misclassifying employees in their Workers Comp policies. This is not to be confused with the misclassifying of employees as subcontractors.

Vector Graphic of Four Man Types of Misclassification Employees

The recent press releases about employers being fined large amounts of money for misclassifying employees are not the same as an employer questioning how their employees are classified. The states are pursuing employers that classify an employee as a subcontractor.

The IRS has a list of rules that differentiate an employee from a subcontractor on their website. You may also use the search box in this blog and search for IRS. The link to the IRS article is in one of my prior blogs.

Your company always retains the right to dispute (Within 3 years of policy expiration except CA) how your employees are classified in your Workers Comp policy. This means your company can dispute the premium audit that the premium auditor has prepared. Once again, disputing the premium audit or questioning the premium auditor’s work will never result in the Department of Insurance investigating your business practices.

Picture Hand Presenting Types of Misclassification Codes

In fact, your Workers Comp policies have included in them the right to dispute anything in the policy or audit. If you read the final pages of your policy it is in there. In fact, all states require the insurance carrier to include in the policy the dispute procedure in detail.

State Departments of Insurance are beginning to heavily pursue the misclassification of employees as subcontractors. Why? The employees are being removed from the Workers Compensation Insurance system and the tax system.   

A company needs to make sure they avoid the two types of misclassification.

Workers Compensation Payroll Audits Accuracy – Huge Concern

February 21, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Workers Compensation Payroll Audits Shows Need For Better Forecasting

A huge concern for Workers Compensation payroll forecasting shows up very often when we assist employers with their premium audits.

Vector Graphic of Woman Huge Concern Raising Payroll cheque

StockUnlimited

I had posted about this situation over the last few weeks. This situation is becoming a very urgent one as companies are trying to survive in this terrible economy. We have seen this happen over and over again lately when we conduct premium audits for employers.

I wanted to re-post over the concern we have with employers not accurately forecasting their payroll figures. The payroll figures are sometimes called remuneration. This can push a company to the brink of bankruptcy if not done properly.

The very bad economic situation we all are having to bear has caused many employers to layoff a large portion of their staffs. Some employers are just now making cuts to their ranks. Even if your company has not experienced any layoffs, an upcoming reduction may not accurately reflect your payroll figures for Workers Comp policies or audits.

Yes, the premium auditor will catch it at the end of the year with a refund or credit to your next policy. Do not let your premium auditor be the one to refund your company money at the time of the premium audit. You can do it on the front end of the policy.

Overestimating your Workers Comp payroll figures is the same as giving your insurance carrier a free loan of your funds for a year or more. It is recommended that just using last year’s payroll figures be avoided completely. We have seen companies harm themselves greatly due to not adjusting their future payroll figures to match their correct forecasted payroll.

We are not advocating that any employer intentionally underestimate their payroll. We heavily suggest looking at each future payroll period to see if there will be any changes to those figures. You cannot ask for a refund from your insurance carrier mid-policy.

There are many options at the time of policy renewal that will enable your company to avoid this situation. If you need further info, please feel free to contact us. If you have already renewed your policy or are in the midst of a payroll and premium audit, I recommend that you begin to plan for the next policy renewal.

One thing I wanted to clear up is that we are not agents. We do not have any outside influences on what advice we give out to clients.

Can Experience Modification Cap Really Work?

February 19, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Experience Modification Cap – Effect on Workers Comp Costs

Does the Experience Modification Cap really help reduce employers’ Workers Comp premiums?

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation’s board of directors recently approved a cap on premium increases aimed at preventing unforeseen spikes in workers’ comp costs.

GRaphic of Dollar Sign experience modification cap In Golden Color

This is a case, once again, whether the government has launched an artificial modification to the E-Mod system that is in place in one form or another in every state. I am not sure that this will work as it would seem that the most safe employers would be subsidizing the least safe ones. The E-Mod system for Workers Comp is the system that has worked for many years. The NCCI has modified some of the rules, but not the way the E-Mod system works.

Someone will have to pay for the cap and it will be the safer employers. This may even cause a somewhat safe employer to be more lax in their safety. If my company was going to receive a cap and I could cut the safety budget, then would I not try to figure out how to have a minimally safe company? That may be an extreme example. Workers Compensation’s rating, audit, and premium system works well for the environment that it exists in for the most part. Why alter what actually works?

Graphic Experience Modification Cap Icon

I had read where some employers’ premiums had swung wildly, but the way the E-Mod system is built, that one bad accident or one bad year is spread over three years. I think where the main fault lies with the Ohio BWC is the way that the Classification Codes are set each year. I would not say that is the reason for sure, as I would have to look at the rates for each classification codes for years to see what the changes were overall.

The bottom line is that while the Experience Mod system is not perfect, it should not be altered as one group of employers will end up subsidizing another if the system is changed.

Insurance Company Bailouts – Question From Article Reader

February 15, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Insurance Company Bailouts May Be A Common Trend

Will insurance company bailouts occur this year?   I received a question a few days ago in response to my post in reference to insurance companies receiving bailouts.  There was an article a few days ago in the National Underwriter that refuted the concern that insurance companies would be receiving bailouts.  My answer is Yes and No. 

US Treasury Insurance Company Bailouts Symbol

Wikipedia – U.S. Government

It is true that insurance companies did not receive direct bailout funds.   However, the insurance companies lined up to buy banks or holding companies or to start holding companies.  The Department of the Treasury allowed the insurance companies to acquire or start up holding companies that qualify as a bank for the bailout funds.  Why was this done? 

During the 1970’s the Glass-Stegall act was basically overturned.  This allowed banks and insurance companies to spread their investments into owning each other.  Many have said this eventual repeal of the Act caused the recent financial crises. 

Holding companies and banks were allowed direct access to the TARP funds.  The insurance companies could then receive TARP funds indirectly.  There are no regulations on how the holding companies or banks are to use the funds.

The answer to the question is the carriers did receive the bailouts indirectly – how much we may never know for many years.

West Virginia Employer Calls In Question on E-Mod and Premiums

West Virginia Employer Premium Question

We received a call today from West Virginia employer who was inquiring about our services.  The caller was having trouble calculating their Workers Comp premium on their own and was confused on the E-Mod calculations and the premium calculations.

One interesting thing the caller said that on this blog that I had written “Stop Just Writing Checks.” He was about to write a check for thousands of dollars until he came across that quote.     I had forgotten about that post.  

Stop Just Writing Checks used to be one of our taglines.  For some reason, the term faded out.

Stimulus Package and Workers Compensation – Any Effect?

February 11, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

The Stimulus Package – Will It Affect Workers Compensation

The stimulus package from the Federal Government caused a few changes in the financial markets.  I wanted to cover the bullet points from my previous blog post.  In looking at the bullet points, some of these have been covered by me in detail over the past few weeks. 

Vector Graphic of Dollar Sign Stimulus Package Financial Concept

The continued bailouts of the insurance companies will distort the market as this will allow them to be more competitive than they should be in quite a few areas.  Some insurance carriers have already been accused of low-balling on bids to win the business.  There are numerous articles in the insurance press covering  this point. 

The GAO has launched an investigation into one specific insurance company’s practices on bidding.  What this investigation uncovers remains to be seen.   A “smoking gun” may never appear to the investigators.

I had totally disagreed with the federal government allowing insurance companies to become quasi-banks/holding companies as this will distort the insurance markets even further.  The slow repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act since the 1970’s contributed to this situation.  This is just another method to obtain more bailout funds. 

  • Having a Federal Insurance Watchdog Agency – in essence to federalize the insurance markets along with Workers Compensation 
  • The shrinking employer market as the need for Workers Comp coverage will be reduced in proportion to the employers’ reduction in size
  • The increase in claims filed as employees lose their jobs – this has been shown to be statistically true. 

I do not think that federalizing the insurance administration and especially Workers Compensation would be a positive development.   As we have seen (Digital TV Conversion, Bank Bailouts, etc.) when anything in federalized the costs increase dramatically and the level of service diminishes.

Would it not be a nightmarish situation if your agent not only had to keep up with state regulation, but also federal.   For instance, if you were renewing your Workers Comp policy, your agent would possibly have an extra set of federal forms to fill out. Of course, there would be a tax on the premiums to keep a watchdog agency in place.  You, as the employer would pay that extra tax.  State regulation is still the way to go because Workers Comp and other lines of insurance vary so much between states. 

The shrinking employer market is a fact.  When more employees are taken off the payroll, then the amount of risk with that employer would decrease.  However, there is another side to this discussion.  The larger the payroll, the more an employer can spread the risk of a few bad claims.   There are ratios in your E-Mod calculation that try to act as a balancing act between payroll,  class codes and claims.  As with most costs, the smaller employer pays a higher per dollar premium for the same Workers Comp coverage.  It is not that fair, but it is the system put in place by NCCI and the State Rating Boards. 

Graphic Arrow Stimulus Package Three Ways

StockUnlimited

For many years, there have been numerous studies that show when employers lay off a large number of their staff, the number of  Workers Comp claims spikes.  Is this due to the employees worrying about future benefits and want to make sure they will receive an income after unemployment runs out or is it that employees may have been working with injuries that were tolerated as a part of work and now they want to file a claim now that they are unemployed?  I think it is a combination of both.  As I said in the previous paragraph, if an employer has lower payroll with many claims being filed, the E-Mod will increase dramatically costing an employer more for their Workers Comp in the coming years.  

Overall,  I think the only very negative development coming out of the current stimulus package is the federal watchdog agency possibly being created to administer insurance.

Will Current Federal Stimulus Package Affect Workers Compensation?

February 9, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Current Federal Stimulus Package –  Readers Questions

Will the current Federal stimulus package affect  WC ?  Quite a few of our blog and email blog readers have posed this question to me over the last few weeks.  The answer is as complicated as the Stimulus Package itself. 

Graphic of Social Media Icon Current Federal Stimulus Package Readers Question

123RF

There are a few areas that could influence the Workers Comp and all insurance markets in the coming weeks and months. The five major areas that could wreck or help the insurance markets are: 

  • Continued bailouts of insurance companies
  • Allowing insurance companies to acquire holding companies to receive bailouts
  • Having a Federal Insurance Watchdog Agency – in essence to federalize the insurance markets along with Workers Compensation 
  • The shrinking employer market as the need for Workers Comp coverage will be reduced in proportion to the employers’ reduction in size
  • The increase in claims filed as employees lose their jobs – this has been shown to be statistically true. 
  • Holding insurance carriers to the “too big to fail standards similar to banks. 

I will go over these topics over the  next week.  If I missed any topics, please let me know.  This blog does very well when I respond to the readers’ questions.

Subrogation – Mystery Workers Comp Premium Refund

February 7, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Subrogation – The Silent Workers Comp Premium Refund

A Workers Comp premium refund that no one talks about is subrogation.  I have posted on subrogation in the past.  I would re-post the standard definition for subrogation, but it is one of the most confusing definitions in all of Workers Compensation.

Gold Coins Premium Refund Picture

StockUnlimited

My definition of subrogation is when there is another party besides the employer that was partially or fully responsible for the incident occurring to the employee.  Workers Comp adjusters sometimes overlook the possibilities for recovering part of the claim payouts using subrogation.

Why would this occur?  A Workers Compensation adjuster is not a liability adjuster and may only be trained to handle Workers Compensation.  General or auto liability is a totally different segment of the insurance world and the Workers Comp adjuster may not be trained in the intricacies of liability other than Workers Compensation.

If the subrogation recoveries occur within six years after the accident, the money should be credited back against the file.  The correction should require recalculation of the E-Mod and a refund of premiums.  Sometimes, the money will be recovered by the insurance carrier and credited against the file.  However, there a few steps that are required to result in a premium refund.  This is a somewhat complicated set of steps that will likely recover some of the overpaid premiums on that specific file.

Vector Graphic Of Hand Premium Refund With Dollar Sign

StockUnlimited

What should your company do if there is a possibility of recovering some of the funds paid out on one or many Workers Comp files?  Your company should inform the adjuster when the claim is reported.  Some type of diary system should be instituted to track the subrogation claim.  One of the main things to look for at the start of the process is a letter from the adjuster to the third party putting them on notice.  Without this letter, your subrogation claim will be deemed worthless.

Subrogation takes a large amount of patience.  Your company’s  efforts will pay off in the long run. If you feel that the subrogation claim is becoming too complicated or the carrier is not pursuing the third party enough to recover funds, it may be in your company’s best interests to bring in a consultant to help with the subrogation claim.

I have received many calls and emails about the Monopolistic State Funds and my original post that there were six states that were still monopolistic.  I was incorrect at the time as Nevada had converted to a free market system.  A few weeks later I received a question on the post and corrected it in another post.   If you use the Search Box and search for monopolistic, you will see the correction.  I am totally against changing the posts once I upload them to the blog.  That is why I did not change the erroneous original post.

Workers Comp Premiums Can Be Lowered – But It Takes Time

February 2, 2009 By JL Risk Management Consultants

Workers Comp Premiums Quick Fix Takes Patience 

Your Workers Comp premiums -Immediately lower them for your company. This is probably the question that I am asked most often at presentations, conferences, and meetings. 

Vector Graphic of Man Pointing workers comp premiums With Dollar Sign And Building Background

StockUnlimited

There is no “quick fix” for your Workers Comp premiums.  Reducing your companies premiums takes at least three years of constant effort.  As Workers Comp is on more of a delayed system, anything that reduces the reserves will not show up in your premiums until two policy years later.  

One of the best ways to reduce your premiums is to institute a new safety program or enhance one that is already in place.  Preventing accidents is the best way to reduce your premiums and will have a long-term effect on premiums.  Almost all states offer assistance in Loss Prevention from educating employees to safety DVDs.  Check with your local department of insurance or industrial commission.  You may be surprised what is offered for free. 

Another way to quickly reduce workers comp premiums is to heavily review your Workers Comp premium audits.  We have seen companies just write checks without questioning the premium audits.  If there is something that does not look or feel right, you have the right to have the audit explained to you in detail by the auditor including classification codes, payroll (remuneration), and any other areas of the audit.  

Vector Graphic Of Dollars Sign Immediately Lower workers comp premiums Icons

One area that most companies do not attempt to question is their Workers Comp loss runs.  If you are not receiving your loss runs monthly, call your agent, or insurance carrier and ask to receive them monthly.  Most insurance carriers will offer to send them quarterly, but you need to review them monthly for changes in reserves.  Having online access to your claims info is critical.  When shopping for a carrier to renew with, ask that your agent inquire to see if the company she/he recommends has online access to your claims.  

Even with all the technology that is in place, there are a few carriers that do not allow access to your claims info.  Having this access may be worth paying a little extra over the lowest-priced carrier.  This will also save your company a large amount of $ if you decide to have a company such as ours to review your claims.  Most companies that allow online access will have a place for status updates.  Those are golden as you can review those quickly to have an idea of how the claim is progressing.  If you do not agree with or have questions on the loss runs, you should email (not call) the adjusters that are on the files. 

Questioning everything that comes across your desk in relation to your Workers Comp policies is always the best thing for reducing your Workers Compensation premiums.
