The New Non-Subscriber Opt-Out Plan Is Emerging As The Alternative to Traditional Workers' Compensation

Given birth by Bechtel in Massachusetts over a decade ago, nurtured by ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 USCS § 1002) ) and fed by the increasing frustrations of employers and employees throughout the nation, the new non-subscription Opt-Out Plan has emerged as a leading alternative solution to traditional workers' compensation coverage.
