Workers Compensation (Notice)

WORKERS' COMPENSATION NOTICE. This is a mandatory workplace posting required under Louisiana Revised Statute 23:1302. Employers must display this notice prominently to inform employees of their rights and responsibilities if they suffer a work-related injury, illness, or occupational disease. The notice explains that employees must report any occupational disease or injury—no matter how minor—within 30 days of occurrence to the employer or designated representative. It also outlines deadlines for filing claims: within one year from the date of the accident, from the last compensation payment, or from the manifestation or recognition of an occupational disease. The notice warns that fraudulent activity related to workers’ compensation benefits may result in civil and criminal penalties. Employees have the right to choose their own treating physician, while employers may request an additional medical examination. www.FormsWorkflow.com
