In 1 April 2011, ACC introduced experience rating – a system of modifying a business’s ACC work levy based on its claim history. Experience rating rewards those business owners with safer workplaces and encourages a focus on improving workplace safety.
Experience rating takes into account a business’s ACC claims history when setting its levies. Under the experience rating framework, employers who have lower than average injury rates, may receive a discount on their ACC work levy. Those with worse than average claims experience may receive a loading on their levy.
Having a ‘preferred provider’ allows you to develop a relationship with a health professional to assist in management of injury and return to work issues.
