Washington Cannabis businesses now can qualify!
Retrospective rating (RETRO) can save your Washington cannabis company money with premium refunds.
RETRO is a partial refund rating plan that Washington business owners can receive from the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I). This safety incentive program is now available for cannabis companies! If you are a cannabis business owner, you can now get rewarded with a premium refund for having a safe workplace.
It is always nice getting refunds, isn’t it?
Cannabis companies now have the possibility to get partial refunds with the RETRO safety incentive program!
RETRO has existed for businesses outside the cannabis industry, such as contractors, for some time. It is a refund that Washington business owners can receive from their workers’ compensation premiums that they pay to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I). After a policy term is completed, a business’ losses incurred over the year is evaluated to determine if they qualify for a reduction of insurance premium rates. Final premium is determined by a formula mentioned in the insured’s insurance contract.
Being the only refund companies can get on their premiums, it is fantastic that cannabis companies now qualify for retrospective rating plans.
Factors that are considered for getting the refund include items such as reduced claims from the previous year (e.g. workplace injuries and lawsuits), passing inspections from L&I Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), avoiding citations, and implementing safety and compliance regulations that set you up for success. Basically, RETRO is like a safe driving car insurance discount for your business—you get rewarded for avoiding accidents by saving money.
The cannabis industry is evolving quickly, allowing cannabis business owners like you, get more opportunities and benefits, like RETRO, that other businesses already have access to.
