Introduction to Allocation & Chargeback Systems
• Quick definition
• Is there a difference between an allocation and a chargeback program
• Objectives for the Program• Incentivize Behavior at the division / region / location level
• Spread Cost across the US Subgroups
• Considerations• Ease of Use
• Sustainability
• Flexibility
• Objective and observable results
The Trade-offs• Easy versus Accurate
• Incentivizing versus Spreading Cost
• Fair versus Accurate Allocation Methodologies
Implementation

Steady State
Communication Plan• Identify internal parties are responsible for reporting or analyzing information
• Legal
• Accounting
• Risk Management
• Commercial Unit leadership
• Be certain to involve all stakeholders in the selection of methodology
• Introduce tools that support success
• Safety
• Return to work programs
• Case management
• Draft clear communication of allocations so that methodology is self-evident or at least very easily understandable in context
• If you get too many questions, revise
• If possible, send as a group of responsible managers (e.g., send jointly with accounting and business analysis teams)
• Consider training in advance of communication
• In person
• Webinar
Scorecards and Reporting
• Must support goals and should clearly align with objectives
• Should incentivize positive behavior• Do you always reward improvement or do you prefer sustained excellence
more?
• What do you do when financial impact of behavioral changes has become unapparent?
• Continue?
• Change?
• Do not over-complicate scorecards or reports
• Focus on Identified Key Performance Indicators
• Integrate within RMIS systems if feasible
Common Objections• “I can buy my own insurance…” (especially from non-U.S.
stakeholders)• “…cheaper.”
• “… at a lower retention.”
• “This is larger than last year’s allocation.”• Change can be worse than being unaware of long-time overcharging
• “We need this allocated by…”• “…Country.”
• “…Legal Entity.”
“No charges under $X,000 will be booked.”
SampleMethodologies
Selection of Formula/Methodology• Consider the things discussed above, weighing the costs and benefits of:
• Simplicity
• Accuracy
• Fairness
• Do we have available data to support the methodology?
• Allocation and charge-backs could be identifiable at varying levels of the organization
• Commercial Unit
• Business Unit
• Region
• Country
• State / Cost Center
• Plant / Site
• Does the methodology incentivize behaviors?
• Positive
• Negative
• Is it easy for internal clients to understand?
• Who are they?
• How much training should they want or need to understand?
• What % of their annual budget is this?
• Consider prototypes and test to ensure goals are met and will be with repeated use
Sample Methodologies Considered

Methodology Advantages Disadvantages
Exposure Based • Simple• Reflects relative exposure to
claims
• Not responsive to claims experience
Experience Rating • Accurate• Considers Exposure and
Experience
• Complex• Lags actual results
Flat Frequency Charge • Responsive• Relatively simple
• Results can fluctuate from year to year• Less responsive to exposure and
exposure changes; responsive to actual experience
• May not collect full funding estimates
Hybrid (Case Study) • Balances stability and responsiveness
• Can be adjusted annually
• A bit more complex

Considerations for Chargeback Systems• Per claim charge
• Medical Only
• Indemnity
• Incident Only
• Appropriate timing/frequency of the charge
• One time charge
• Charge when claim converts from medical only to lost time
• Daily open charge vs. bucketed charges when a claim is open 30 days, 45 days, 90 days, etc.
• How do you strike the right balance in the methodology between the following?
• Per claim charges
• Exposures (such as payroll, sales, units, etc.)
• Loss history
• How many years are included in the loss history?
• Excluding outliers?
• Late reporting penalties
• Incentive “bonus” based on performance against goals
• Lower lost time claim counts
• Improved return to work
• Percentage of annual costs recouped by chargeback
• Varying the charges by business unit, locations, etc.?

Risk Management Philosophy
Focus on Loss Prevention & Mitigation
“Skin in the Game”
Maximize Cash Flow, whileProtecting Balance Sheet
• Company Culture
• Senior Management Commitment
• Supported by Robust Resources
• $5 to $25 Million Retentions • Incentives to prevent/mitigate losses• Operating divisions own their losses
• Do Not Trade Dollars w/ Ins. Co.• Aggressively Manage Claims • Risk transfer to Mitigate Catastrophic • Claims
Utilize a Global Master Control Program for P&C Exposures Self-funded Losses Represent ~75% of Total Cost of Risk
Yum! Operating StructureCompany structure has three primary operating divisions
• China division:
• ~ 7,000= restaurants (majority company controlled)
• International division:• ~ 15,000 restaurants (~ 90% franchised)
• ~ U.S. division:• ~ 15,000+ restaurants (~ 90% franchised)
Allocation Philosophy
• All insurance related expense associated with each operating division allocated to that division (fixed cost + actuarial forecast)
• Majority of expense is for self-funded claims
• Self-funded claims forecast (expense) trued-up twice a year
(Q2 & Q4) utilizing third-party actuary (Deloitte)
• Each division has flexibility how they allocate expense across restaurants: recorded on P&L as Actual = Plan
• Actuarial adjustments booked at division HQ level
Restaurant Level Chargeback System
Chargeback system designed to incent safety & post loss behaviors
Chargeback:
Team member injury debits Med Only +$1,250, Lost Time +$5,000
(P&L credits - controllable profit; non-CA)
PPO credit -$250 credit
Same Shift reporting credit -$750 credit
Return to w ork credit </=7 days -$3,000
8-14 days -$2,000
15-30 days -$1,000
Customer injury debits (controllable profit) GL +$2,000 , AL +$2,000
Injury Free Incentives:
Team members Various prizes
Restaurant Managers 1Q -$400, 2Q -$600, 3Q -$1,000, 4Q -$2,000
(P&L credits - controllable profit; non-CA) Potential $4,000 credit for full year
Example - U.S. Division Chargeback System
• Utilizes a carrot / stick approach• Designed to incent controllable behaviors (accident frequency & certain post-loss actions)• Not intended to reflect ultimate severity of each claim (hold claims management team accountable for claims outcomes)
• Credit / debit adjustments impact restaurant P&L (basis for manager’s bonus); reversed at division level consolidation
Lessons Learned Watch Out Opportunity Correction
Be careful what you ask for -
incentives may have
unintended consequences
Setting chargeback too high resulting in
restaurants going outside claims process
and/or delaying reporting claims
Reduce chargeback to correspond
closer to avg. cost of claim &
rewarding prompt claims reporting
Allowing field to grant exceptions Allowing exceptions can creep into a
bureaucratic mess and reduce effectness
of system
Gain alignment with management on a
"No Exceptions, No Whining" policy
Restaurant performance not
aligned with above-restaurant
leadership and support team
performance goals
Different functions focused on different
actions
Everyone on the same page - Tie
restaurant chargebacks to KPI's and
Loss Prevention/Safety Manager's
performance goals
Chargeback system overly
complex and/or operators do not
feel they can control outcomes
Operators not clear on what behaviors you
are trying to incent
First: Simplify system; Second: Create
direct link between actions and
outcomes; Third: Consistency, do not
make frequent changes
Maintain consistency, but modify
appropriately
Restaurant manager received credit for
reporting claims within 24 hours, initiated
nurse triage for WC claims
Adjusted 24 hour credit to same shift /
prior to any medical treatment being
sought
Too complicated to administer Inconsistent application and/or operators
not utilizing system
Fully automate system
Introduction of a New Chargeback System: Case Study
• Charge for both Frequency (number of claims)
and Exposure (hours worked, payroll, etc.)
Frequency Charge accounts for 70%-100% of
the funding estimate and includes separate
charges for Med-Only claims, Indemnity (lost
time) claims, and Indemnity claims reaching a
certain threshold of lost-time days
Exposure Charge accounts for 30% of the
funding estimate and is currently calculated
based on % of total hours worked
• An additional 10% increase is included in the
per claim charge to account for potential
improvement in experience. This only
impacts the Frequency Charge (70%) and will
therefore not completely cover a 10%
improvement in claims experience
• Lost time charges based on ‘days of lost time’
• Allocation or ‘Charge Back’ applied at the cost
center level
• Minimum charges ensure that the total charge
is at least $X per cost center
• Option 1 Charges (total
charges)
Medical Only = $4,041
Lost Time less than 31 days
=$20,203
Lost time 31 days or greater
= $60, 608
• Option 2 Charges (total
charges)
Medical Only = $4,172
Lost Time less than 8 days
=$12,515
Lost time 8-30 days =
$29,202
Lost time 31 days or greater
= $62,576

Actuarial Considerations
Actuarial and Other Considerations
ALAE
• Initially combined with loss in calculation
• Could subsequently separate out
ULAE/other fixed costs (i.e. excess insurance)
Behavioral Credits and Charges
Capping
• Limit penalty for large losses by capping losses in allocation
• Determine cap (excess of $X)
• Determine who will be responsible for the excess amounts (i.e. remain at
Corporate, divisions absorb equally, etc.)
Minimum Charges
