[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) An area that is worked on quite a bit and is important for business owners is workers compensation. You must return someone to work within 3 days of the accident. This is just the state of Wisconsin – it’s different from state to state. If the employee is returned within this time frame, you’ll receive a 70% discount on your premium from the amount of money that was paid out on your claim.

Your MOD is your multiplier. Not all businesses get a MOD, usually because your premium is too low. If you don’t have good claims, your MOD could go up. It’s based on three years of claims. Your MOD is a multiplier and is affected based on your claims.
