Commissioner L. S. Guy Accepts Award!
|
Duplin County's efforts in reducing its Workers' Compensation costs resulted in the county winning an award from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' Risk Management Pools.
Duplin County was awarded a cash prize of $2,500 for its work based on three consecutive years of pool participation. The county received the award during the NCACC's 97th Annual Conference.
The Risk Management Pools' Awards Program is designed to encourage members to improve their risk control programs and thereby reduce their overall pool cost. Awards are given in three categories for each of the three pools - Group Benefits, Workers' Compensation and Liability & Property.
The Most Innovative and Effective Program Award recognizes members who have programs in county government during the past calendar year. Each winning county receives $10,000.
The Best Loss Results Award, which Duplin won, recognizes pool members who have produced the best risk control results. Each winning county receives $2,500.
The Most Improved Award recognizes members who have worked hard to improve their claims frequency and severity. Each winning county receives $5,000.
