为了节省税收和刺激业务增长，俄克拉荷马州已开始简化其工人薪酬法院制度的过程。该系统中的员工削减已经发生了，未来有更多计划。预计他们将为该州的企业节省数亿美元。

俄克拉荷马州的工人赔偿法院系统最近分为两个机构其他州全国。但是，从工人赔偿法院制度到行政制度的变化已延迟了一些法院案件，according tothe Tulsa World.

As of July 1, the Oklahoma Workers Compensation Commission and the Oklahoma Workers Compensation Court of Existing Claims (the latter of which will handle claims filed before Feb. 1) began operating as separate,独立机构。新工人赔偿要求仅由委员会处理，因为旧法院系统被淘汰。

The current system handles 330 trials, pretrial conferences and other hearings each day, according to the Tulsa World. In the last fiscal year, the court’s 10 judges handled more than 83,000 hearings.

Under the new system, six judges will take care of the court’s existing cases as well as new claims filed for injuries under the old system.

The revamping is the result ofSenate Bill 1062，去年获得州立法机关的批准。目的是建立一个更高效，更低的法院系统。

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said in a press release that the new system is designed to treat injured workers quickly and fairly, while cutting legal red tape and costs to businesses.

“Oklahoma has had one of the most expensive and inefficient workers’ compensation systems in the country, a constant obstacle for businesses looking to expand operations or create more jobs,” Pallin said.

通过法院制度的变化将节省多少钱，但国家官员对大量节省的预测还有待观察。俄克拉荷马州州议会估计，工人薪酬改革将为该州的企业每年节省2.63亿美元。

Reducing the number of judges has had the effect of decreasing the necessary amount of administrative staff people, since fewer judges means fewer administrators are needed. Other cost-saving measures that are part of the revamping include efforts to resolve more cases through mediation, electronically recording hearings rather than hiring a court reporter to record them, and electronically filing documents.

由于变化，该州工人​​薪酬系统的工作人员从75下降到59。
