Studies indicate the additional claims on Monday are filed prior to 12:00 noon and they are soft-tissue claims that are not specifically tied to the occupation,

Since insurance companies use frequency & severity as part of their criteria to set Workers

premiums, avoiding the Monday Morning claim:

1. Reduces the frequency of Monday Morning Claims

2. Removes the employer lack of control over the severity of OFF THE JOB injuries

3. Reduces the time spent by the employer processing and monitoring the claim

4. Reduces the need for the employer to hire new or “fill in” with other employees

5. Allows the employee to obtain immediate medical care during the weekend

6. Allows the employee to obtain direct financial payments for OFF THE JOB injuries
