Workers' Compensation insurance is a critical component for any business, especially in Mississippi where costs can significantly affect a company's bottom line. Understanding your Experience Modification Factor, or "experience mod," is key to managing these costs effectively. An experience mod is a numerical representation of your company's safety record compared to others in your industry, determined by the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI).

​Definition and Impact
An experience mod of 1.0 is considered average. If your mod is below 1.0, you're paying less for workers' compensation than your peers; above 1.0, you're paying more.

Calculation Process
It reflects your company's claims history relative to others in the same industry, adjusting your premiums accordingly.

Why it Matters
In Mississippi, where workers' compensation costs are high, your mod significantly impacts your financial health.

​Reporting  Errors
Mistakes in claims reporting can inflate your experience mod.

Payroll Data
Issues Incorrect payroll data can also lead to higher mods.

Carrier Calculation Mistakes
Sometimes, the insurance carrier's calculations can introduce errors, impacting your premiums.

​Identify Errors
Regular audits can help discover inaccuracies affecting your mod.

Benchmark Performance
Comparing your performance against industry standards can pinpoint improvement areas.
​
