How to Lower Your Workers Compensation Liability: What Every Manager Needs to Know
Sat, 6/10/17, 10 AM to 12 PM
1750 East Golf Road, 3rd floor
Schaumburg, IL 60173
Workers compensation insurance in Illinois is among the highest in the region. Every organization (for-profit and non-profit alike) must carry workers compensation insurance if it has any workers - maybe even if they are unpaid interns and volunteers. If you manage a small to mid-size business or a non-profit, this workshop is a must!
Many thanks to Dr. Karen Eng and CSMI for donating the venue!
