Workers
Compensation Rate Increase
Fresno Chamber Position:
OPPOSE
The Workers’
Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau is recommending a 24%
increase in the benchmark rate for workers’ compensation
insurance policies.
Given the current economic climate, it is unreasonable to turn
back the clock on changes made to the workers’ compensation
system in 2004. Those changes saved California employers $40
billion and increase in rates today will have a dramatic
negative impact on our economy making it difficult for
businesses to hire employees.
