  Hey everyone!  We need your help!  The Conference Trustees are working to negotiate discounted group rates for workers' compensation liability insurance coverage for local churches through the PACT insurance provider, Zurich, and we need you.  The Zurich underwriters need workers' comp loss runs for about 25 or so of our churches in order to really dig a little deeper and lower those rates.  We are hoping to get rates that will be affordable so that even smaller churches that are not required by law to carry the coverage will be able to do so at a price they can afford.  The pastors and congregations of those smaller, uncovered churches are at risk because regular health insurance would not typically cover injuries they may get at work (it is easy to slip and fall) and the church would be liable for any costs for treatment or lost work.

   

  If possible, we need you to help out by asking your current insurance provider for a loss run for your workers' comp policy that they can provide to us for this negotiation.  This does not bind your church in any way to anything - it will just help to give us negotiating power with the insurance company.  If you are willing to help out, please let me know and I will send you a memo that you can send to your insurance agent to request the information.  You will just need to put your name on the memo and send it - they should do the rest.  Thanks for considering this and please let me know if you can help us out.

   

  Thanks!

  Christine
