Workers' Compensation Penalties Increasing
How are the state workers' compensation systems working? In California alone state auditors issued 10,000 penalty assessments totalling $1.27 million against workers' compensation insurers and administrators.
The reasons for the penalties:
- high amounts of unpaid workers' compensation
- late payments of benefits
- failure to notify employees of their rights.
