“Summertime is always the best of what might be.” —Charles Bowden It’s also the time of the year, when we’ve mostly finished reading the headline grabbing articles about the excesses and failures with executive compensation in the US. The current problems with US executive compensation stem from many, many little things over decades…not one particularly greedy CEO or less than independent compensation committee demonstrating a lack of judgement. This week’s Cahn Reidy article isn’t going to solve all the problems with executive pay programs, but it’s an attempt to help those charged with balancing numerous stakeholder interests and systemic challenges with a checklist of things they can do to improve their process discipline around the topic. #compensation #executivepay #executivecompensation #boardofdirectors #compensationcommittee Private Directors Association® - Colorado The National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO)

Part 1: Work Comp and the Grand Bargain- A Primer    Reducing workers’ compensation program costs requires all interested stakeholders to understand its origins, benefits to American industry, and how it improves the lives of all.  Once this is accomplished, parties can have better interactions with the workers’ compensation system, and members of the claim management team can make better decisions with the ultimate goal of reducing program costs.    This five-part series will explore the origins of workers’ compensation in the United States, allow interested stakeholders to understand the benefit structure, provide tips for reducing workers’ compensation program costs and premiums, and identify the unexpected with concrete solutions in overcoming the challenges of the system.    The Grand Bargain – Developments of Modern Work Comp Laws    The first steps toward the modern workers’ compensation system have their origins in Europe under the rule of Otto von Bismark and the creation of the Employers’ Liability Law of 1871.  Journalists and authors in the United States took note and were inspired to write about the perils of industrialized workplaces.  This “muckraking” journalism caught the attention of lawmakers and eventually took hold when Wisconsin passed the first workers’ compensation law in 1911.  Not until 1948, when Mississippi adopted its law, did all 50 states have a workers’ compensation law.    Indemnity Benefits:    - Temporary Total Disability (TTD): The employee is off work, but expected to return to work.  Most states cap the number of weeks an employee is eligible to receive this benefit, and is paid generally at 66.6% of the AWW.    - Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): The employee works at a wage loss (reduced hours or wages).  Most states cap the number of weeks an employee is eligible to receive this benefit and is paid at a percentage of the calculated wage loss.    - Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): This is a benefit generally paid at the time the employee reaches Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI, sometimes referred to as “end of healing period).     - Permanent Total Disability (PTD): The employee is permanently precluded from returning to work based on their physical condition, including age, training, experience, and work available in his community.     - Medical Benefits: The general rule is that medical care covered under workers’ compensation must be reasonable, necessary, and causally related to the work injury to be compensable.      - Vocational Rehabilitation: The goal of this benefit is to return injured employees to suitable employment with the assistance of a vocational counselor.     https://lnkd.in/gkE22caW  P.S. Let’s talk about how to make work comp easier for you or your clients.  https://lnkd.in/gYieUtah
