Schedule L
The Schedule L announcement comes with two major changes: New quarterly incentives and disincentives based on an all-new safety ranking system, and an update to the accident indemnification amounts for contractors. With these changes, contractors can see impacts on quarterly revenue anywhere from +2% to -3% based on their safety performance.
