Employers should provide their employees with information about their rights to workers’ compensation by posting information about workers’ compensation in a public space that is accessible to all employees. They should also make these notices available to their employees, which the employees can retain for their own records.

Penalties for Non-compliance

Employers are required to have workers’ compensation insurance. Not having insurance can be either a felony or a misdemeanor offense. If an employer fails to comply with workers’ compensation laws, the employer may be required to pay a penalty of $2,000 for every 10 days that the employer goes without providing insurance to employees.
