Tips for HR Ninjas

Do you receive Cascade’s monthly newsletter, NewsBrief? If you don’t, you may be missing our new recurring column, Tips for HR Ninjas.

April’s HR Ninja Tip was: Workers’ Compensation – Lower Premiums and Less Time Loss, Is This For Real?

Did you know that as an employer who maintains Oregon’s workers’ compensation insurance, your company may be eligible for up to $5000.00 to assist with worksite modification EACH time a worker is injured at your place of business?

This money can be used to rent, purchase or modify existing equipment so the worker can return to work earlier (with restrictions), which leads to less time loss and lower premiums.

For more information on eligibility, additional benefits and how the Employee At Injury Program (EAIP) works, contact your business’ workers’ compensation insurance company.

You can also visit these Workers’ Compensation Division EAIP pages to learn more:
