Description

Provides information, guidance, benefit computations, and Workers' Compensation coverage compliance. The Workers' Compensation system is a "no-fault" insurance program that provides medical and disability benefits for work-related injuries and illnesses. It covers both traumatic injuries caused by sudden accidents and gradual onset injuries resulting from repetitive motion or stress. The system offers five basic categories of benefits: medical, temporary disability, permanency, vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits. Workers’ compensation coverage is required for ALL employment, and employers are liable for anyone they employ, including independent contractors and subcontractors. Most employers secure coverage by purchasing workers' compensation insurance. A limited class of employers may be approved as self-insurers.
