About this playbook
Managing workers' comp cost starts before you hire your first employee. The right selection system makes sure people can safely do the work and screens out problems such as fraud, malingering, drug abuse and theft. This playbook sets out what a bad hire costs, screening and placement best practices, physical and baseline testing, and the ADA limits on each.
You will be able to
- Measure what a bad hire costs your program
- Apply best practices for employee screening and placement
- Choose the screening checks to run before employment begins
- Use physical and baseline testing to confirm employees can work safely
- Stay within the ADA and other legal limits on hiring
