We want workers to be safe and productive. The type of training we get from Comp Alliance is outstanding. It's the bonus stuff that makes them the best option for workers' compensation like managing claims well and keeping employees safe. It had previously been difficult to estimate our costs for workers' compensation. Comp Alliance does not audit at year-end so now we know our costs upfront which has been helpful from a budget perspective. We can also reach out with specific questions and the staff is very supportive. Safety is not a local government's game, public service is. Workers' compensation and safety is their game, and they help keep our employees safe to reduce our costs and save our taxpayers.
