EOLWD's Fiscal Year 2018 performance

Department of Industrial Accidents 

FY18 Metric	FY18 Target	FY18 Performance (as of 12/31/17)
Waiting times from Conciliation to Conference in the dispute resolution process	Maintain the waiting times in the 8 to 12 week range for 2018.	Current wait times are at 12 to 18 weeks.
Launch document upload project. The document upload project will allow attorneys to submit larger sized documents to the DIA for the Conference stage of the dispute resolution process.	Initial goal will be to have between 500 - 600 packets uploaded per month for the first roll out phase of three months. At the end of that period we will look to expand to full implementation of 1,000 - 1,200 documents uploaded per month. This will later be expanded to Conciliation and Hearing which could eventually mean between 3,000 to 5,000 documents uploaded per month by FY 2020.	Currently the upload protocol has been fully implemented for conference packets. The monthly average is 861 packets uploaded.
Streamline the approval process for Workplace Safety Training Grants.	By fast tracking approval process we should be able to cut the approval time to 1 to 2 months.	The Office of Safety has been able to get approval for over 90% of the grant applications for FY 2018. Some applications remain pending due to approvals from other agencies that have not yet been obtained.
Maintain or lower DIA assessment rate.	DIA will seek to maintain the current assessment rate of 5.6% or lower it through prudent fiscal management.	Assessment rate remains 4.56% as it will not be adjusted until July 1, 2018.
