Hey there kiddo! Today, let's talk about something called the experience modifier.
Have you ever heard your parents talk about car or home insurance? Well, this experience modifier is like a grading system for businesses when they get workers’ compensation insurance.
It’s kind of like when your teacher gives you a grade based on how well you did in a subject. For businesses, the experience modifier is like a grade that helps determine how risky it is to insure them.
If a business has a good safety record, it gets a lower experience modifier, which is like an "A" grade. But if a business has a lot of accidents or injuries, it will get a higher experience modifier, which is like a "C" or "D" grade. Basically, the experience modifier helps insurance companies know how much to charge a business for insurance based on the risks they face in the workplace.
So, just like how you have to study hard and be careful in class to get a good grade, businesses have to be safe and avoid accidents to get a good experience modifier.
