HI HB13

Requires employers to provide written notice to injured employees within 10 days of learning of an injury, detailing temporary disability benefit amounts, calculation methods, and payment schedules, or explaining any delays in determination

Mandates employers who deny compensability of a work injury must submit a written report to the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations within 30 days of filing the initial injury report; failure to do so creates a presumption that the injury is compensable

Requires employers to furnish up to $10,000 in medical care, services, and supplies to injured employees immediately after a work injury until the employer files a denial report, without creating a presumption of liability

Establishes detailed notice requirements for employers regarding permanent disability benefits, death benefits to dependents, and any changes to benefit rates, payment amounts, or schedules

Clarifies that an employee's failure to notify an employer of an injury does not bar a compensation claim if a supervisor or any person with authority in the employer's interest had knowledge of the injury
