Larger or qualifying Workers’ Compensation accounts may receive an Experience Modification Factor, commonly called:

  • Experience Mod
  • MOD
  • EMR
  • Experience Rating

It compares an employer’s actual loss experience with the expected losses of similar businesses.

NCCI describes experience rating as a program using an employer’s actual incurred losses compared with expected losses for similarly classified employers.

Example

A Mod of:

1.00

generally represents the benchmark.

A Mod below:

1.00

can indicate better-than-expected experience.

A Mod above:

1.00

can indicate worse-than-expected loss experience.

The Mod may then adjust the Workers’ Compensation premium.
