Horizon Receives a .76 EMR!
Every company receives an Experience Modification Rate (EMR), calculated every three years by the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI). This calculation takes several factors of a business into consideration when determining their EMR. Namely, the inherent risk of the job and past workplace injuries that have occurred.
Why Is This Number Important?
Simply put, this number signifies how safe a company is. The industry average EMR is a 1.0. Companies with scores higher than 1.0, are more or less considered to be unsafe. The EMR a company receives can impact them greatly. Not only does it affect insurance rates and premiums, it can play a significant role in bid success. Many general contractors will not even consider companies with an EMR of 1.0 or higher for their projects, significantly limiting their work.
