Data Reporting

To accurately measure the cost of providing workers' compensation benefits, the WCIRB performs a number of functions. This includes collecting premium and loss data on every workers' compensation insurance policy. The data provides the basis for developing proposed advisory pure premium rates, determining experience modifications, publishing reports on trends in the California workers’ compensation industry and providing useful analytical tools and information to various workers’ compensation insurance constituents.
