Workers Comp has been rated by using the Experience Modification Factor

Workers Comp has been rated by using the Experience Modification Factor since it began – well, in the 1930’s.   If you search the J&L Risk Management website, you will see many articles on the E-Mod. 
The E-Mod is a delayed system.  You cannot tell actually what happened fully in any state with WC until 4 years after a policy commences.    The aforementioned loss ratios are not designed to be a rating factor of any type.  My actuarial background says no.
If your company is self insured, then the Loss Development Factor (LDF) reaches further into the past – up to 10 years.   To say the Loss Ratio produces a premature measurement is a large understatement.    
Therefore, as with ice cream and assaults,  one should examine other intervening variables – LDF or E-Mod.  Workers comp statistics can be great – with the right ones.
