Ask Your Peers  WC for Staffing Company- with $50,000 to $60,000 premium 

I have a small staffing company who wants to get out of the assigned risk pool. They hire mainly industrial type employees. There have been no claims since inception in May 2011. The company is growing. Payroll is about $1.5 million and current premiums are about $65,000 in the assigned risk pool.

Any suggestions on WC companies that would look at MP of closer to $50k?

Depending on the state(s), you might try calling Richard Skinner at All Risks (Hunt Valley, MD office), or Bill Nagle at PMC Insurance. They may be able to help. Good luck...

We have had good success with AIA (Associated Insurance Administrators in Montgomery, AL). Phone 1-800-981-4242.

Anne,

Stephanie Reilly, who heads our Workers Compensation division nationwide, will be contacting you shortly via email to discuss our Workers Compensation markets that may be a good fit for your account.

Hi Anne...YES we can small/large Staffing in our PEO and in some cases, in our CLS WC
programs!....



……here is an email that covers much of the
basic info. you need to know about our Professional Employer Organization (PEO)
& Contract Labor Service (CLS)
programs….. Please read all below and if this risk or you have a risk
that you feel is a fit, answer/provide all info. requested below. Thanks!



NES does best costwise for risks with high
xmods, high cost class codes, in state pools, with workers' compensation (WC)
premiums of 50k or more, paying way more than they should be, and generally
considered highly WC distressed…..we can write most risks including Staffing in
our PEO programs….and Staffing also thru our CLS programs….all depending on the
overall risk picture…..As you probably know by now, WC programs for staffing
are almost nonexistent at this time with risks going to or in state pools…
however, again, we can write Staffing in our PEO/CLS programs…. NES
writes/places the most Staffing in PEO/CLS programs of any brokerage in the
USA.



Under a PEO arrangement, a co-employer
(primarily for benefits purposes) relationship is established between the risk
and the PEO, with the PEO becoming the sole employer of record for IRS
purposes. The PEO has a master "PEO" designated WC policy. The
workforce is contracted back to the risk to operate and manage as usual. Under
a CLS arrangement, primarily for Staffing, a sole-employer relationship between
the risks employees and the CLS is established.
The CLS has a master "Staffing" designated WC policy. No
functional control is lost of the risk's business or labor force in either
case, and in many cases, both the employer and employees receive more and less
costly benefits, services, and WC coverage. The main purposes and goals of
these relationships is to provide the risk with more suitable and economic WC
and administrative functions on an outsource basis, including all management
and navigation of the Affordable Care Act's (Obamacare) regulations and
implementation. In both the PEO and CLS structures, all WC covered employee
payroll must be processed by (in most cases) and flow thru the PEO/CLS, with
payroll checks drawn on the PEO/CLS bank accts.


Before we quote either PEO or CLS, it must be
cleared directly with risk, either by you or us jointly, that such an
arrangement will work for them….so not to waste your/our time if the above
basic structures will not work for them.



Submission info needed:



• Detailed
ACORD (must have # of ees/code)

• 3-5
yrs losses valued no more than 45 from curr date

• last
4 quarters of State unemployment rtns (for staffing risks only)

• Curr/renewal
policy dec/rating pages

• State
pool quote (preferred)

• Xmod
sheet



Questions on each risk:



1.
Why are they shopping their WC?
If being non-renewed, why?

2.
Is "A" rated WC carrier REQUIRED by risk?

3.
Do they/you have any viable WC options at this point. If so what are
they?

4.
Will they for sure goto a master policy PEO/CLS program per above if the
cost/structure makes sense?

5.
Have you or the risk obtained a state pool quote yet? if so please send, if not please obtain and
send or explain why you/they have not done so.


6.
Do you control this risk? if not,
how did you get this opportunity?

7.
Will risk accept a deductible WC program, if so what level?

8.
What is our target annual cost we need to hit to write deal?



We look forward to working with you. Thank you!
