12 Ways to Minimize Workers Compensation Fraud

This HR compliance training will teach you the best practices you can adopt to minimize Workers’ Compensation fraud. Learn how to spot common Red Flags, investigate potential fraud claims and reduce the potential for such fraud.

Why Should You Attend:

Worker's Compensation insurance is designed to assist injured and disabled workers who are hurt at work, incapable of working at full capacity, or working at all. The majority of employers would agree that the purpose of Worker's Compensation is an admirable one. It is a no fault system with the desired outcome of returning employees to their jobs.

However, some individuals engage in less than scrupulous activities to take advantage of the Workers' Comp programs and system. These behaviors can even become "catching" in the workplace; at worst causing great unnecessary expense to an employer and at best harming overall employee morale. However, since most people administering Workers' Compensation for their employer are not in the insurance business - or not even in a safety role at work - recognizing and putting a stop to those that would game the system can be daunting.

This training session will help you to learn how to minimize Workers’ Compensation fraud.
