New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
Does anyone know if this is currently true? Thanks
"... all building owners and managers with employees are required under New York State law to carry workers compensation coverage, which covers on-the-job injuries and occupational illnesses. Many boards may not be aware that participating in programs such as work safety groups—independent groups put together by insurance companies in pooled coverage—could result in a 30 percent or higher dividend and lower premiums on their workers compensation coverage. The savings is based on claims experience of the individual properties of safety group members. According to Kaminoff, at the end of the year, a board could receive a check worth 30 percent of what they paid into workers' compensation for them to deposit right back into their reserve account.
As an example, Carlson cites the FNYHC's program specifically for building owners and managers. By purchasing through the Federation's Safety Group, members were able to save approximately 60 percent on their workers compensation insurance premiums. Their coverage is through the Durnan Workers' Compensation Safety Group, which handles more than 5,000 New York properties.
