Home Risk in Context Blog 3 Key Differences Between the US and Canadian Workers Compensation 3 Key Differences Between the US and Canadian Workers Compensation Posted by Mary Lynch June 22 2016 The United States and Canadas workers compensation system have many similarities but there are several significant differences Companies operating in both countries or considering expansion opportunities should understand these differences to ensure proper coverage within and across borders and help minimize costs The systems differ in three main areas 1 Workers Compensation Boards Like the US Canadian provinces and territories create and regulate workers compensation legislation at a local level for workers compensation boards WCBs The WCBs which provide insurance for workplace injuries and illnesses operate independently and are funded by employers not the government Coverage is generally mandatory but certain industries are exempt including dentistry banking and insurance However unlike in the US Canadian industries that are required to purchase workers compensation insurance can do so only from a WCB Most provinces in Canada provide coverage similar to the book premium plus modification factor used by private insurers in most US states Ontario the exception provides coverage using a modified incurred loss retrospective rating plan which charges an annual nonnegotiable premium and assigns a rebate based on expected versus actual claim costs Additionally a company that is part of the WCB system can not be sued by a worker unless gross negligence is first proven and can not settle on a lumpsum payout 2 Cost Drivers Unlike the US Canadas loss of earnings and wageloss benefits rather than medical benefits are the primary cost drivers due to the publiclyfunded health care system which has Fewer administrative costs and fewer health care costs applied to an employers experience rating Less overutilization of health care benefits when a workers compensation claim occurs which translates into lower medical costs overall 3 ReturntoWork Programs Medical providers have less control over when an employee returns to work in Canada Doctors complete functionalabilities forms that list the employees capabilities which employers and WCBs then use to assign suitable tasks Doctors are generally not consulted on the length of medical leave unless an employee is experiencing high levels of pain or is being treated with narcotics Additionally if an employer concludes that the employees recovery is lagging it can legally request an independent medical examination by a doctor of its choice or by a WCBs evaluation center While there are many similarities in the two workers compensation systems it is crucial that companies operating across borders understand the differences Doing so will help ensure the wellbeing of your employees and the financial health of your organization Mary Lynch Mary is a Managing Consultant within Marsh Risk Consulting leading the Workforce Strategies Practice In this role Mary works with clients to achieve the highest return on their investment in human capital providing advisory and customized program strategies around Canadian Workers Compensation and Health Safety Previous Why Offering Cargo Insurance Is a Must Posted by Michael Wilson July 26 2016 Next What is ESTMA Posted by Andrea Orviss June 15 2016 MEET THE AUTHOR Mary Lynch MRC Workforce Strategies Practice Leader Canada

What is a GPA and Why Is It So Important 22 Dec 2017 Home Articles How to apply to a university What is a GPA and Why Is It So Important When youre enrolled in a Bachelors or Masters programme your GPA is easily one of the most important numbers to keep an eye on Your GPA or Grade Point Average is a number that indicates how well or how high you scored in your courses on average Its meant to score you usually on a scale between 1 and 4 during your studies and shows whether your grades have been high or low overall in your classes This number is then used to assess whether you meet the standards and expectations set by the degree programme or university How does a GPA work In the same way that your professors and instructors give you a grade to evaluate your progress or success in their course your Grade Point Average is similarly a score used to evaluate your success during the entirety of your degree programme Its an average number that shows what you typically scored in your classes throughout the semester term and year Your GPA can go up and down throughout your time at the university and will change according to how much you improve your overall grades or in some cases how much you fell behind Check out Masters worldwide Here are just a few universities where you can apply right now for a Masters degree with a mediumtogood GPA University of Portsmouth UK PSB Paris School of Business France Geneva Business School Switzerland Taylors University Malaysia James Madison University USA Grading systems and GPA Since grading systems differ in other parts of the world well first have to work through some of the ways that different countries and universities use their grading system to devise a students GPA There are a few common ways that grades are marked throughout the world A F in the US Canada Thailand Saudi Arabia etc 1 10 Netherlands Colombia Latvia Macedonia Israel etc 1 5 Germany Austria Russia Slovakia Paraguay etc Percentage Kuwait Belgium Hungary Poland etc There are other common methods that universities use in order to evaluate and score students Yet in order to make these grades translatable that is readable to other countries and universities they will often use an averaging score system How do you calculate a Grade Point Average Each grade that you receive whether its in the numbering system lettergrade system or percentage system corresponds to a quality point A quality point is almost always on a scale between 0 and 4 or is a multiple of 4 The highest grade that you can get A 10 5 100 and so on will equal the highest number on that scale For example in the US an A is the highest grade you can receive in your classes Depending on which school you attend in the US A is either equal to 4 or it is equal to a multiple of 4 eg 8 or 16 After you take a few classes these points are added up and divided by the number of courses you took The number that you get is your Grade Point Average If youve mostly received Bs throughout your university education then your GPA is likely to be around 30 32 give or take and this is roughly what a B average looks like How do I keep a high GPA Maintaining a high GPA isnt always easy and if you start with a low GPA at the beginning of your study programme it is much harder to raise later on thanks mathematics But on the other hand if you continue to exceed in your courses and you happen to slip in your 3rd year with a lessthanaverage grade your GPA will not be severely damaged So we will often recommend especially for firsttime college students take entrylevel easier classes at the beginning of your degree programme during your first year so that you have a better chance of starting with Your GPA will change and vary throughout the years but having in mind what your GPA is every semester will give you a good indication of how well you are doing in your courses overall and perhaps whether you need to improve Why is the GPA so important Throughout your university education your GPA is really the only metric or calculation showing how good of a student you are and whether youve been doing well during the degree programme Though you will obviously know yourself whether youve passed and excelled in your courses your GPA gives a broader indication of your overall grades and scores During your Bachelors or Masters degree programme you will be asked to provide your GPA Here are a few examples applying for a scholarship joining an organization or club doing any extracurricular activities applying for a graduate or postgraduate programme So in many ways your GPA is the key used to unlock other exciting things during your study When organizations want to know what kind of student you are whether youre a hardworking ambitious student or a slacker who is not excelling in his or her coursework they rely on your GPA Organizations scholarship committees clubs and universities want highachieving hardworking students and so they want someone with a high GPA Full disclosure your GPA is important but it isnt everything It may seem unfair that during your time at university they appear to only care about one number rather than other achievements that you may have during your academic career Several students feel that while their grades may be lessthanperfect they still feel they are hardworking ambitious students Just because you have a low GPA does not mean that you are unintelligent or that you are not a hardworking student A low GPA can mean that you took harder classes to begin with or that during some semesters you were too distracted to complete your assignments in the best way you could or that you were figuring out how to be a university student and now youve finally figured out how to study Whatever the case is your GPA is not an indication of your worth as a student or whether you are smart enough for college Good online Masters that fit your GPA You can find a lot of good universities offering online Masters that accept a wide range of GPAs Find the right programme from this list of universities Walden University Nottingham Trent University RMIT University Royal Roads University The University of Exeter Your GPA is merely a number Employers and universities know this fact So when youre applying for a school or searching for a job you will not only be required to submit your GPA You will also submit resumes CVs recommendations writing samples and test scores other ways of showing and outlining your achievements and abilities as a student You have other chances to prove how ambitious smart disciplined hardworking and creative you are and they dont all come down to a small number So if your GPA is low do not despair Yes it will be used a lot during your time at university and Search and

Phosphatidylserine supplements Can they improve memory Can phosphatidylserine improve memory and cognitive function in people with Alzheimers disease Answer From Jonathan GraffRadford MD Phosphatidylserine fosfuhtiedulSEReen is a dietary supplement that has received some interest as a potential treatment for Alzheimers disease and other memory problems Several studies with phosphatidylserine indicate improved cognitive abilities and behaviors However improvements lasted only a few months and were seen in people with the least severe symptoms Initially phosphatidylserine supplements were derived from the brain cells of cows But because of concerns about mad cow disease most manufacturers now produce the supplements from soy or cabbage derivatives Preliminary studies have shown that plantbased phosphatidylserine supplements may also offer benefits but more research is needed However no modern studies have continued to focus on phosphatidylserine suggesting its limited effect Keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration doesnt require manufacturers to provide evidence of the potential risks and benefits of phosphatidylserine or of any supplement Consult your doctor before starting any dietary supplement With Jonathan GraffRadford MD Huperzine A Can it treat Alzheimers Vitamin B12 and Alzheimers May 12 2017 References Products and Services Book Mayo Clinic Guide to StressFree Living Book The Mayo Clinic A to Z Health Guide Book Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging Give today to find Alzheimers cures for tomorrow

Alzheimers Understand wandering and how to address it Alzheimers causes disorientation which can lead to wandering Heres how to curb or prevent wandering as well as ensure a safe return if your loved one is lost By Mayo Clinic Staff Wandering or getting lost is common among people with dementia This behavior can happen at any stage of Alzheimers If your loved one has Alzheimers he or she is at risk of getting lost even if he or she has never wandered in the past Understand wandering There are many reasons why a person who has Alzheimers might wander including Stress or fear Your loved one might wander as a reaction to an unfamiliar or overstimulating environment a loud noise or a situation he or she doesnt understand Searching He or she might get lost while searching for someone or something Boredom He or she might be looking for something to do Basic needs He or she might be looking for a bathroom or food or want to go outdoors Following past routines He or she might try to go to work do chores or buy groceries Prevent wandering Wandering is not necessarily harmful if it occurs in a safe and controlled environment However wandering can pose safety issues To prevent unsafe wandering identify why the wandering might be happening For example if your loved one tends to wander at the same time every day or when he or she is bored plan meaningful activities to keep him or her better engaged If your loved one is searching for a spouse or child post a sign stating that the person in question will be visiting soon to provide reassurance and reduce wandering Keep your loved one safe Its not always possible to prevent wandering To keep your loved one safe Reduce hazards Remove tripping hazards such as throw rugs and extension cords Install night lights to aid nighttime wanderers Put gates at stairwells to prevent falls Install alarms and locks Various devices can alert you that your loved one is on the move You might place pressuresensitive alarm mats at the door or at your loved ones bedside put warning bells on doors and use childproof covers on doorknobs If your loved one tends to unlock doors you might install sliding bolt locks out of your loved ones line of sight Camouflage doors Place removable curtains over doors or camouflage doors with paint or wallpaper that matches the surrounding walls Signs on doors might help too Use a GPS device Consider having your loved one wear a GPS or other tracking device that can send electronic alerts about his or her location If your loved one wanders the GPS device can help you find him or her quickly Ensure a safe return Wanderers who get lost can be difficult to find because they often react unpredictably For example they might not call for help or respond to searchers calls Once found wanderers might not remember their names or where they live If youre concerned about your loved ones wandering inform the local police your neighbors and other close contacts about your loved ones condition Keep a list of emergency phone numbers handy in case you cant find your loved one Keep a recent photo of your loved one on hand too Also consider enrolling in the Alzheimers Association safereturn program For a small fee participants receive an identification bracelet and access to 24hour support in case of emergency If your loved one is lost contact local authorities and the safereturn program if youve enrolled right away The sooner you ask for help the sooner your loved one is likely to be found July 12 2018 References See more Indepth Products and Services Book Mayo Clinic Guide to StressFree Living Book Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging
