Workers' Compensation in California: A Complete Guide for California Employers

Everything California Employers Need To Know About Workers' Comp Laws, Rules, Policies, and Processes

Workers' compensation is one of the few areas of employment law that's almost entirely governed at the state level. And it's complicated:

What qualifies as a covered injury or illness?
Should you self-insure?
Who's entitled to workers' comp benefits?
What do you need to know about the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF)?
How are premiums calculated—and how can you keep yours as low as possible?
What should be included in your Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)?
What workers' comp notices must you distribute to employees—and when?
How do you properly calculate benefits for injured employees?
What should your return-to-work program look like?
How does workers' comp interact with other state and federal leave laws, including FMLA/CFRA and ADA/FEHA?
What can you do to reduce the risk of workers' comp disputes—and fraud?
What are the "red flags" that can signal potential abuses of the system? And how can you combat these without setting yourself up for damaging retaliation claims?
How should you respond to a workers' comp-related lawsuit?

Fortunately, answers to all of these questions and more are covered in depth in our new HR Management & Compliance Report, Workers' Compensation in California: A Complete Guide for California Employers.
