“This pamphlet is one way we can help employers and claims administrators ensure employees know what to do if they get hurt or sick because of work,” said DWC Chief of Legislation and Policy Susan Gard. “We want to provide easy to understand information in multiple languages that meets the needs of California's diverse workforce.”
The pamphlet, posted in English and Spanish, was developed in response to requests from claims administrators and provides employees with information about what to do if they are injured on the job and ways to resolve disputes over workers' compensation benefits. In addition, it discusses the role of the primary treating physician and medical provider networks (MPNs). Predesignation forms are included as part of the document.
This optional time of hire pamphlet is presented in a graphic format that can be customized to meet individual needs and is also offered in “text only” format in English and Spanish, which gives claims administrators the option to more fully customize the presentation. The text of the pamphlet meets the “time of hire” legal requirements.
This new pamphlet is the latest publication helping DWC reach out to assist employers and workers. DWC recently posted updated fact sheets and guides for injured workers in English and Spanish.
