Workers' Compensation All employers need to be aware of how Workers' Compensation affects their workplaces. Many employers in industries such as construction or manufacturing are aware of Workers' Compensation policies and procedures because the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has numerous daily requirements for workers and employers. However, all employers must abide by OSHA regulations - even if they are office workers or employers in a seemingly safe environment. After all, even office workers can be injured by daily activities if there is an accident. The LaborLawCenter™ provides all OSHA Inspection Forms, Recordkeeping documents, and Posters that employers need to get compliant and stay compliant with state and federal regulations. Many of these forms are specific for the industry that an employer works in, such as the restaurant or construction industry. Each state is responsible for administering its own Workers' Compensation program, unless the employer is in an industry that is covered by the federal government, such as coal mining. All states require that employers report injuries immediately once they happen - though some states allow employers up to two weeks to report minor injuries. The LaborLawCenter™ now provides state mandated Workers’ Compensation forms/pamphlets that employers need in order to report an on-the-job injury or illness or comply with state requirements. This documentation is required in order for employees to be eligible for Workers' Compensation. Employers can be fined if they fail to complete the forms in a timely manner. Certain state Workers' Compensation programs and OSHA regulations may require posting a notice in the workplace in an area that is accessible to all employees, such as an employee break room or a public bulletin board. These types of notices are already contained on our Complete Labor Law Poster, but certain times, an extra measure needs to be taken for certain situations such as an injury on the job. While each state administers its own Workers' Compensation program, different employers may be required to abide by the rules of different federal programs. The U.S. Office of Workers' Compensation Programs is responsible for administering the four major disability compensation programs that may apply to applicable employees across the country. These programs help to provide wage replacement for injured workers, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and other benefits to employees that experienced a work-related injury or occupational disease. For example, the Division of Coal Mine Workers' Compensation program administers the Black Lung Benefits Act, which provides benefits to coalminers, who are disabled because of the black lung disease, and to their survivors. The Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation program administers the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, which provides medical benefits and compensation to workers that are involved in maritime accidents.
