Worker's Compensation
When an employee is injured at work, Workers' Compensation benefits are available to cover lost wages and medical costs related to the injury.
Whether those benefits spiral out of control or are properly managed depends on you - and your administrative prowess.
Please join us to learn successful strategies for tracking, monitoring, managing - and avoiding - Workers' Comp incidents, including:
- Which workers are - and aren't - covered by Workers' Comp
- What kinds of injuries and illnesses are - and aren't - covered by Workers' Comp
- Your organization's rights and responsibilities for Workers' Compensation
- The "what’s", "where’s", "how’s", and "whys" to successfully managing a Workers' Comp claim from injury to resolution
- Second Injury Fund and SIF questionnaires
- Louisiana Wage Payment Statute
- Pitfalls of not properly paying terminated employees
