Outsourcing this level of support and technology reduces organizational strain enabling IT to focus on improving business integration and innovation. This is not just an infrastructure monitoring problem, so picking a company who understands service management and service warranty is a must. 2) While grouping services, it is imperative that organizations look at their services and determine - what are those t...

San Diego Contractor to Pay State Fund $456,000 and Serve 3 Years in Prison in Workers' Compensation Fraud Case
San Diego Contractor to Pay State Fund $456,000 and Serve 3 Years in Prison in Workers' Compensation Fraud Case

SAN DIEGO and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh ordered the owner of a San Diego construction company to pay $456,061 in restitution to the State Compensation Insurance Fund in a workers' compensation insurance fraud case. David Haskit, 44, a licensed general contractor and owner of Haskit Construction, Inc., was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to workers' compensation insurance premium fraud.

"Employers cannot cut corners to create profit for themselves while putting their employees at risk," said Fiona Khalil, San Diego County Deputy District Attorney, "If they decide not to adequately insure those who work for them, they will be investigated and face serious criminal penalties."

Haskit has owned his San Diego residential remodeling company since 1986. State Fund participated in the investigation by conducting audits of Haskit's workers' compensation records.

"State Fund will continue to support the San Diego County District Attorney's Office in fighting all types of workers' compensation fraud," said Donna Gallagher, who manages State Fund's Fraud Investigation Program (FIP). "San Diego County is fortunate that the District Attorney's Office is so vigilant in investigating and prosecuting fraud at all levels and in all types of industries."

In June of this year, Haskit's contractors license was revoked and in July he lost his insurance with State Fund. He had been insured with State Fund since 2002.

NOTE TO EDITORS: Established by the California Legislature in 1914, State Compensation Insurance Fund is a nonprofit, wholly self-supporting public enterprise carrier that provides workers' compensation coverage at cost to all California employers.
