From a national truck rental company in Mississauga:

"I am very pleased to provide this letter of reference on behalf of EmComp... EmComp was engaged by our company in early 1992 to provide us with advice and assistance in our dealings with the Workers' Compensation Board of Ontario on several complex and costly claims that , at the time, were having a significant and negative impact upon our WCB costs. Through Jim O'Dell's in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of the Board and its policies as well as the Workers' Compensation Act itself, we have been very successful in obtaining a significant relief of the costs associated with these claims as well as a denial of some of our more recent claims. In addition, during this period, we had occasion to utilize EmComp's services for preparation and representation at a Reinstatement Hearing. Again Jim's knowledge of hearing procedures and Board tendencies was extremely valuable to us in this matter. During my association with Jim O'Dell, I have found him to be the consummate professional. Furthermore, because of his integrity, forthrightness, sense of humour and genuine interest in the welfare of our company, it has been a pleasure to work with Jim. I would certainly recommend the services of Jim O'Dell and his excellent staff to any organization seeking sound advice and consultation in workers' compensation matters."

From a national food supplier in Toronto: "Since the Fall of 1991, our retail grocery group has benefited greatly by utilizing the assistance of Mr. Jim O'Dell and EmComp in controlling our WCB costs. Mr. O'Dell's services have proven most beneficial in every area of WCB procedure. Mr. O'Dell has presented and won in the appeal system and has completed numerous claim assessments in a detailed and knowledgeable manner securing SIEF relief and claim denials. He has prepared us for Re-Instatement Hearings under the Workers' Compensation Act. Under the NEER program, EmComp has assisted us in lowering our costs by isolating those areas which require concentration of our efforts and by suggesting in-company functional control strategies. Jim's in-depth knowledge of Board structure, and of the Act itself, together with his tireless determination and attention to detail have succeeded in achieving his goals on behalf of the company. In addition to direct assignment requests, Jim is always available for sound advice and direction. This is always given freely and with a genuine knowledge and interest in the well being of the company. Mr. O'Dell is a true professional. He is a cheerful and uplifting resource and I would recommend his knowledge and abilities with the utmost confidence."

From a transportation company in Grimsby: "We have retained EmComp to assist with the Workers' Compensation Board issues since January 1, 1992. We have found Jim O'Dell's knowledge of the WCB and his experience in dealing with the Board has allowed us to obtain rebates on our claim costs and also has us on a program to reduce our claim cost. Jim has a very positive approach to managing an employer's WCB claim cost and with his vast knowledge has been very successful in reducing our claim cost to eliminate penalty assessments. We would recommend EmComp to any company that needs assistance on Workers' Compensation Board issues."
