Workers'
Compensation Rate Increases
The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau is
recommending a nearly 30% increase in workers’ compensation
rates.
Given the current economic climate, it is unreasonable to turn
back the clock on changes made to the workers’ compensation
system that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made in 2004. Those
changes saved employers $40 billion. Any increase in rates will
have a dramatic negative impact on the economy and make it
difficult for businesses to hire employees.
