The Illinois Chamber of Commerce and the Illinois Self Insurers' Association strive to provide the Illinois business community with timely information to ensure employers are up-to-date for Workers' Compensation issues. This confusing, often abused statute is one that employers and their employees need to be familiar with in order to stay in compliance.

This conference is designed to inform, educate and assist employers on how to be in compliance, and to show employers how to reduce their workers' comp costs in the process.
