Comp. Information
The Construction Industry Service Corporation (CISCO) is
committed to improving Workers’ Compensation in Illinois.
Both union and management agree that they have a stake in
providing better health care and a competitive insurance premium.
The Illinois construction industry currently receives premium
relief through the Illinois Premium Adjustment Program.
CISCO and a variety of other construction associations have
supported a change in the way premiums are established. The
present system uses wages paid; CISCO supports a change to
hours worked.
