* We have been asked to vote on a question regarding the way our WCB account is priced. Our vote affects the whole industry group (community service organizations). Out of some 6 pages of information from WCB, the bottom line seems to be that we'll save around $0.02 per $100 of payroll (maybe $20-$30 year), by moving costs related "longer recovery due to pre-existing condition" out of the industry cost pool an onto individual employers that run into this kind of workplace injury. How does the board want us to vote? | * We have been asked to vote on a question regarding the way our WCB account is priced.

*Neil - I'm bringing this up because the best interests of EBC seems to be "yes," though marginal, but I'm concerned about that other employers in our group who aggressively manage their WCB costs might start screening applicants for potentially expensive pre-existing conditions, so if it were up to me I'd be voting against EBC's financial interests, and felt I should clear this by the board. I suspect it'll pass regardless of how we vote. | |||
*we vote thus: Micah: I move to vote no; Bern seconded; carried. That is, the NO vote carried. | |||
