Form #: B -52 <br />7/18/91 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />STAFF CONTACT <br />A. REQUEST: <br />DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Human Resources DATE <br />Sharon Toriano PHONE <br />January 2, 2015 <br />961 -8361 <br />Approval authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawaii Department of Human <br />Resources Development to provide workers' compensation administration services. <br />B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br />The Department of Human Resources Workers' Compensation Division would like to renew its agreement <br />with the State of Hawai'i Department of Human Resources Development to provide workers' compensation <br />administration services. The current agreement ends March 31, 2011i. The service provided by the State <br />has been a cost effective solution in reducing the number of open claims for the County. Lower case loads <br />per adjuster allow for more thorough and aggressive claims management, speedier resolution, and therefore <br />lower claim cost. Complexity and severity of injury are considerations to maintaining a manageable case <br />load per adjuster. We would like to continue to have the State of Hawai'i Department of Human Resources <br />Development provide workers' compensation administration services for the Department of Parks and <br />Recreation and the Police Department. <br />SIGNED: <br />Department Head <br />DATE: //,s <br />
