Workers' Compensation Coverage Enhanced with Variety of New Content

Author: Michael C. Jacobson, XpertHR Legal Editor

Employers seeking guidance regarding their response to a potential workers' compensation incident now have access to several new resources:

• A How To regarding the employer's response to a potential workers' compensation incident;
• A Checklist identifying common issues and pitfalls employers face when addressing a workers' compensation incident;
• A Policy informing employees of their obligations and the employer's goals in handling workers' compensation incidents;
• A FAQ addressing employer obligations in state-controlled workers' compensation schemes; and
• A FAQ on identifying workers' compensation claims.

These new tools are an enhancement to existing XpertHR workers' compensation resources, such as the Employment Law Manual's Workers' Compensation federal and state sections and the How To guides on accident investigations and the costs of workers' compensation coverage.
