Claims Experience Report

The Claims Experience report details adjusted claims costs incurred by the WSCC for accepted workplace injuries and/or illnesses associated with a specific employer.

The costs included in this report are those which are incurred in the selected calendar year, in relation to claims which were registered in either the selected or previous four (4) calendar years.

This report allows you (the employer) to understand the costs associated with a specific claim, as well as examine the types of injuries that have occurred, and identify any potential trends. The costs associated with a specific claim are categorized by expense type, and all values are taken directly from the WSCC’s financial reporting system.

This report is the WSCC equivalent of the Claims Expense reports found in other jurisdictions, and can be used by employers during the competitive bidding process.
