General Information

The principle of claims cost relief and of claims cost transfer is to ensure that an employer’s experience account is not charged claims costs for a work-related injury which exceeds the employer’s responsibility. 

The amount of claims costs applied against an employer’s experience account determines whether an employer receives a super-assessment. As a result, it is important that only appropriate claims costs are charged to an employer’s experience account.  

Purpose

This policy provides direction on the relief or transfer of claims costs from the cost experience of an employer.
