Abstract: There exists convenience of addressing work risks without notifying the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) to avoid the increase in the risk of work premium. Some 37 Mexican companies participated in this study. The cost-benefit relationship is established between increases in the cost of work risk insurance and the economic benefits the IMSS covers for the employer when a risk is covered. We found the work risk premium does not increase automatically because risk is configured. Indeed, there are cases where it decreases. Second, the Cost-Benefit relationship was established in the case of 90 days of disability, finding that one of the companies did not see its premium increased. In 28 of the remaining 36 the cost-benefit ratio was greater than one. For 29 of the companies analyzed, it is more economical for the employer to utilize IMSS despite the increase in cost of work risk insurance for the following fiscal period
