Workers’ Compensation: Your Obligations as an Employer

摘要

The responsibilities of dental practice owners extend far beyond patient care. As an employer, you also have an obligation to ensure you are following workers’ compensation laws. Workers’ compensation insurance provides state-mandated benefits to employees who suffer an injury or illness that arose out of or occurred in the course and scope of employment. Your insurance carrier can help you determine the specific obligations in your state, such as compliance postings, statute of limitations and injury reporting requirements.
