I'll be in Kansas City next week presenting the annual Midwest Construction Safety Conference on the topic of Workers' Compensation Experience Rating. I've learned over many years of research and presenting on this topic just how critical it is for contractors to understand what goes into the mod calculation and how frequency and severity play a combined role in the result. Let me know if you'll be there and we can catch up! https://lnkd.in/gTwrxgQd
