Measure Title: |
RELATING TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION.
|
Report Title: |
Workers' Compensation; Disability Benefits; Death Benefits; Notice by Employer; Medical Benefits; Knowledge of Injury
|
Description: |
Establishes notice requirements for employers under Hawaii's Workers' Compensation Law. Requires employers who deny the compensability of an employee's injury to submit a written report supporting the denial to the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations within a specified period. Requires employers to furnish to the injured employee up to $10,000 for medical care, services, and supplies for the period immediately following the injury and so long as reasonably needed or until the employer files a written report with the Director denying the compensability of the injury, whichever is earlier. Clarifies that failure to give an employer notice of an employee's injury does not bar a claim for compensation if any person having authority in the interest of the employer had knowledge of the injury.
