[QUOTE="RoyalFlush, post: 732768, member: 27311"] There is a predetermined charge based on the average cost for a "reported" injury or accident based upon the severity rating. It works the other way around also. If it were a million dollar accident the center still gets charged the flat rate. If it's not reported (called in), there is no charge to the center. Minor injuries and accidents cost the center about 1,500. Severe type accidents and lost time injuries cost the center about $43,000. For injuries there is also an ongoing charge for each month out of work. It's a double edged sword. If the employee or management person gets caught not reporting it under the wrong circumstance they face termination. A lot of minor injuries and accidents don't get reported officially. The problem can come back to bite those involved if the injury or accident escalates to something more than originally thought. For example - the customer calls in the accident and it is found that is was not reported or if the employee seeks medical attention after the fact. Once it gets officially documented, some one is getting in trouble if it was not reported. I've seen a lot of people (management and hourly) terminated for not reporting injuries and accidents that were not reported at the time and then later became known. You're taking a chance either way. [/QUOTE]
