The objective of this course is to give the participant information on the most asked-about topics in premium audit. It discusses vacation and paid time off, bonuses, verifiable time records, and what an auditor is required to look at when auditing. All of this is tied into Oregon law, with examples and stories to make the information come to life. Participants will know the answers they need when their customer asks why vacation is excludable and sick pay is not, when a bonus can be excluded, and what the law requires for verifiable time records.

Cuando un trabador resulta herido, hay muchas cosas que gestionar y recordar. Lo más importante es asegurarse de que el empleado busque el tratamiento que necesita, pero luego hay formularios que completar, personas a contactar y planes que implementar para reintegrar al trabajador al trabajo de manera segura. No siempre se tiene control sobre los costos asociados con un reclamo, pero hay cosas que puede hacer para ayudar a reducirlos y gestionarlos. Únase a un Ajustador bilingüe y a un Consultor bilingüe de regreso al trabajo mientras cubren el proceso de presentación de un reclamo y los beneficios de reincorporar a su trabajador en un trabajo modificado. Discutirán los formularios a utilizar y cómo completarlos, así como la comunicación y la información adicional necesaria para resolver con éxito un reclamo. También aprenderá cómo puede contribuir a reducir los costos de los reclamos y retener a un trabajador valioso al implementar y seguir un Programa de regreso al trabajo. Obtendrá información sobre la creación de ideas para trabajos, métodos para ayudarle a retener a su trabajador y cómo reducir formalmente la exposición a la perdida de tiempo en caso de problemas laborales. Por favor, venga preparado con preguntas. Aunque no discutiremos reclamos específicos, estaremos encantados de responder cualquier pregunta sobre el proceso de Reclamos y Regreso al trabajo, con el fin de seguir construyendo una relación exitosa con usted y sus trabajadores.

When an employee is injured there are a lot of things to manage and remember. The most important thing is to ensure your employee seeks the treatment they need, but then there are forms to complete, people to contact and plans to put in place to bring your employee back to work safely. You do not often have control of the costs associated with a claim but there are things you can do to help reduce and manage them. Join a Bilingual Adjuster and Bilingual Return to Work Consultant as they cover the process of filing a claim and the benefits of returning your employee to modified work. They will discuss the forms to use and how to complete them, as well as the communication and additional information needed to successfully bring a claim to resolution. You will also learn about how you can help reduce claims costs and retain a valuable employee by putting in place and following a Return to Work Program. You will learn about creating modified work ideas, methods to help you retain your employee and how to formally reduce time loss exposure if employment issues arise. Please come prepared with questions. Although we will not be discussing specific claims, we are happy to answer any questions about the Claims and Return to Work process in an effort to continue building a successful relationship with you and your employees.

Please be advised that this session will be presented entirely in Spanish.

Emotions walk into the workplace with us every day. While many of us were taught to “leave emotions at the door,” the reality is they are deeply connected to how we lead, collaborate, and communicate.
