Workers' Compensation Seminar: Friday, November 6, 2009

With the increasing cost of worker’s compensation for small business owners, it’s important to understand the practices and procedures that can affect the overall costs of your workers' comp premiums.

AlaCOMP, NFIB’s partner in the NFIB/Alabama Workers’ Compensation program, is extending a special invitation to NFIB members to attend a FREE SEMINAR to help small business owners understand how workers’ compensation practices can affect their business.

Seminar topics will includet:

• Introduction to Loss and Control and Starting a Safety Program- What is an accident?  Causes of accidents.  How accidents can be prevented.  Ultimately, why you are the most important element in working more safely. 

• Alabama Workers' Compensation Information for Employers- Average weekly wage, types of disability, workers’ compensation red glags and other workers’ compensation issues that employers may be faced with.

•  Advanced Workers' Compensation Claims Management- Updates on the Workers' Compensation Statute, court case rulings that may impact work comp costs for employers and scenarios for real workers' compensation injuries for training purposes.  Gain a working knowledge of workers’ compensation process.

There is NO cost for you to attend. If you would like to attend this event, please RSVP  to the NFIB/Alabama state office at (334) 264-2261 by Tuesday, November 2.

NFIB members have the opportunity to own and control their workers' compensation costs through the Alabama Workers' Compensation program provided by AlaCOMP, an Alabama-only Workers' Compensation Self Insurance Fund.
