AI Summary

  • Extends the injury notification deadline from four days to ten days after a workplace injury occurs, applying to both standard employers and self-insured employers.

  • Requires employers to affix the date and time of receipt on written injury notices and provide employees with a copy within seven days of receiving the notice.

  • Tolls (pauses) the notification deadline if an employer fails to provide a copy of the notice or fails to display required workplace warning notices about workers' compensation.

  • Eliminates compensation penalties for late injury reporting if the employer has actual notice of the injury or good cause exists for the employee's failure to report timely.

  • Updates workplace warning notices to inform employees they have ten days to report injuries in writing and clarify that failure to report promptly does not prevent pursuing a claim.
