Workers' Compensation Sections Updated for Several States

Author: Michael C. Jacobson, XpertHR Legal Editor

Workers' Compensation state sections of the Employment Law Manual for Vermont, Maryland, Tennessee, Louisiana and the District of Columbia have been updated to reflect the passage of new legislation or amendment of existing legislation this summer pertaining to workers' compensation regulations.

Many of the changes go into effect on October 1, 2013, or January 1, 2014, so employers should review the information to ensure they are prepared for new regulations, reporting requirements, insurance coverage requirements and prohibitions against retaliation or discrimination.
