For additional details on WorkplaceNL’s key financial and operational statistics, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis on page 33 and the 2018 Financial Statements on page 48. 1. Number of lost-time claims per 100 workers employed. 2. The number of new claims reported, accepted and paid up to March 31 of the following calendar year. Health care only claims do not involve lost-time from work. 3. Correction of historical record. WorkplaceNL identified a system issue which resulted in an incorrect count of health care only claims for 2016. The count has been adjusted to 1,621 from 1,562 as previously reported. 4. Accepted fatality claims are the total number of fatalities that were accepted in that calendar year. 5. Correction of historical record. Through a review of workplace fatality statistics, WorkplaceNL identified an accepted fatality claim resulting from a workplace accident in 2014 which was not correctly coded as a workplace fatality, although all benefit entitlements were delivered.

As well, one fatality claim from occupational disease was accepted in 2014 but was later denied in 2015. The number of accepted fatality claims has been adjusted for 2014. 6. Short-term claims duration is defined as the number of days for which temporary earnings loss benefits are paid for injuries occurring in the same reference year. 7. Average assessment rate is the rate charged per $100 of payroll. 8. Claims costs and employer assessments for 2014 to 2017 were restated in 2018 due to a change in the presentation in the financial statements for self-insured employers. Claims costs include current year payments plus expected future payments for all injuries occurring and accepted in the year, excluding actuarial adjustments. 9. In 2016, WorkplaceNL reverted to reporting actuals, from projections, for the incidence rates, the number of short-term disability claims and the number of health care only claims. 10. Correction of historical record. WorkplaceNL identified a system issue which resulted in an incorrect count of short-term disability claims for 2014 to 2017. The counts have been adjusted to 3,803 from 3,761 for 2014; 3,640 from 3,594 for 2015; 3,601 from 3,560 for 2016 and 3,386 from 3,356 for 2017 as previously reported.
