Stop! You Could Be Hiring Your Next Workers’ Compensation Claim - IL

Most companies have at least one horror story to tell about a Workers’ Compensation claim involving the back, shoulder or knee, where a pre-existing injury or weakness allegedly resulted in injury. Workers’ Compensation laws provide no protection or relief and these incidents are among the most expensive claims. These incidents often result in extended time off, surgery, rehabilitation and permanency settlements. The good news is that there are ways in which companies can avoid hiring their next Workers’ Compensation claims.

This seminar will help you develop and implement programs designed to legally identify and avoid hiring employees who are reasonably likely to aggravate a pre-existing condition on the job or be injured by the physical requirements of the job being offered.

Topics to be discussed include:

•   Job Descriptions

•   ADA Compliance

•   Strength-Testing Protocols
