Employer Claim Costs and PRIME Status Reports
In an effort to be green conscious, the Commission has eliminated the printing of the Explanation of Terms sections of the monthly Employer Claim Cost Reports and the PRIME Status Reports.
To access this information see Related Documents.
Employers should register for connect, the Commission’s web service, if they wish to receive their cost reports online. Once employers are registered, they no longer receive their cost reports in the mail. Click here to register for connect.
Reminder: Deadline for PRIME practice incentive for 2010

Occupational health and safety training is a mandatory component for most employers – if you need help finding a training provider or course visit our website.
Lower your assessments through the PRIME experience incentive
Preventing injuries and managing claim costs can lead to lower assessments through the experience incentive component of PRIME. Your experience results will be calculated and applied in 2011 when your 2010 employer statements are processed.
Remember, you must first qualify for your practice refund to be considered for an experience refund. However, if you did not qualify for the practice refund and your claim costs result in experience charges, these charges will still apply.
Your experience incentive results are based on your claim costs which can be found on your PRIME Status Report. This report is generated monthly if you have claim costs and a designated claim cost contact on your account. If you are registered for connect, you can access this report on-line.
Keeping your account information up to date is important for PRIME. For example, ensuring that your payroll estimate and description of industry is accurate will provide you with a realistic estimate of your potential experience results.
