Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the formula use 200,000 hours?

It represents 100 full-time workers working 40 hours per week for 50 weeks. The common base lets rates be compared across workplaces of different sizes.

Are cases and lost days interchangeable?

No. The formula counts qualifying cases. A single case can involve several days away, and its case count is still one.
