Workers' Compensation Savings--ADR
SCCA founded the Alternate Dispute
Resolution Trust with Local 12 of the
Operating Engineers to help employees get
back to work sooner after a jobsite
accident. This program provides a mutually
approved panel of doctors for treatment and
representatives to help employees get
proper, timely care. The success rate for
our ADR members has helped them reduce their
workers' comp premiums by a minimum of 15%
and as much as 45%. We are also active
participants in the ADR programs of the Laborers, Carpenters, Ironworkers and Cement
Masons.
