California posting notices

Posting notice requirements

The California Labor Code and state regulations require insured and self-insured employers to inform employees of their rights and obligations under workers’ compensation law by posting state-approved notice (LC§ 3550). You must fill in, print and post the mandatory Workers’ Compensation Posting Notice in an area frequented by your employees (break-rooms, time-clock areas), where it will be easy to read during the workday, at each of your business locations. Failure to provide this information can result in loss of employer medical control [LC § 3550 (e)], civil penalties of up to $7,000 for each violation of the posting requirement (LC § 6431), and the tolling of the statute of limitations for filing a claim.

Please note that you were provided a customized California Posting Notice as an attachment in your original email policyholder notification (subject line “Important ICW Group Claims Kit Materials”). Don’t worry if you can’t find this – just click on the “California Posting Notice” link below. Add your nearest “Information & Assistance Office” found on the CA government website: Workers’ Compensation – Information and Assistance Unit. Then, simply print and post as described above.
