BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.
To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

A Washington state program that helps employers provide light-duty jobs for injured workers has saved companies nearly $20 million in its first two years, the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries says.
L&I is Washington’s monopoly workers compensation insurer. A workers comp reform bill passed in 2011 established the state’s “Stay at Work” program, which reimburses employers for providing medically approved light-duty jobs to injured employees.
The program has paid $19.6 million to 2,400 employers who provided modified work for 8,400 workers in the last two years, L&I said in a statement Thursday.
Employers who participate in “Stay at Work” are reimbursed for 50% of an injured employee’s base wages, as well as for equipment, training and clothing provided for the worker’s modified job, according to the statement.
