In an effort to streamline the notification process and reduce the burden on employers, the Administrative Director of the California Division of Worker’s Compensation (DWC) recently amended regulation relating to MPN’s. The DWC regulates how an employer implements a MPN, requiring them to provide specific notification to their California employees.
The purpose of this notice is to inform our customers to the new requirements and advise on the steps being taken.
The amended regulation becomes effective on October 8, 2010. By that date employers must:
Post the updated form DWC-7, Notice to Employees –Injuries Caused by Work
- Post the updated MPN Notification
- Include the Implementation Notice in all new hire packets
- Include the updated Your Workers Compensation Benefits Notice in all new hire packets
- At the time of injury provide the updated MPN Notification to employees
- At the time of injury provide the updated State form DWC-1, Employee Claim Form & Notice of Potential Eligibility to employees at the time of injury
If you are chave any questions, you may also contact an MPN Representative by calling (800) 390-9099
