Pinnacol to return $300K-plus dividends to Pueblo businesses
Colorado’s largest workers’ compensation carrier, Pinnacol Assurance, is issuing a $15 million general dividend to businesses in every corner of the state, including $366,235 in dividends to Pueblo businesses.
It is the ninth consecutive year Pinnacol has issued dividends to its customers. Businesses started receiving checks March 22.
Pinnacol Assurance operates similarly to a mutual insurer, treating its customers as its owners, which makes them eligible to receive an annual dividend based on Pinnacol’s financial performance. Dividends are also made possible by customers’ commitment to safety through timely claims reporting and investments in safety education, technology and equipment.
“By reinvesting in what matters most, we equip businesses to thrive and grow in today’s dynamic marketplace,” said Pinnacol President and CEO John O’Donnell.
