Fraud or lack of worksite controls?

Minnesota is getting tough on fraud. They estimate that about 10% of all claims are fraudulent. If fraud is that high in the state, it's a clear sign that employers aren't making the most of basic worksite controls - communicating and establishing expectations with employees, managing injuries immediately, bringing employees back on RTW. Generally, in our experience, when fraud is high, employer controls are being underutilized.
