The dashboard shows two sets of data for all Departments: percentage of loss based on number of employees and percentage of loss based on net incurred cost.
% of Loss Based on Number of Employees The number of each Department's claims divided by the Department’s number of employees. This measures frequency of claims (how often employees are injured).
% of Loss Based on Net Incurred Each Department's net incurred cost of claims divided by the total County net incurred cost of claims. This measures severity of claims (how seriously employees are injured and how well claims are managed).
The objective is for all Departments to keep both percentages below 7%. Color indicators aregreen for 0% to 2.4%, yellow for 2.5% to 6.9%, and red for 7% and above.
This information is for FY24 claims only and uses data as of 1/31/25.
