Chapter:

WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMPLIANCE

Overview

RULE:

69L-6.007

Compensation Notice

PURPOSE:

Section 440.40, F.S., requires every employer who has secured workers' compensation insurance to post in its place of business a workers' compensation notice and an anti-fraud reward program notice. Section 440.40, F.S., also authorizes the Department, by rule, to prescribe the form of the notices and to require carriers to provide the notices to policyholders. Rule 69L-6.007, F.A.C., currently requires carriers to furnish employers with a compensation notice, commonly referred to as the "broken arm poster," and incorporates the English version of the anti-fraud reward program notice. The rule is being amended to allow the compensation notice to be electronically sent to the employer; reduce the required size of the compensation notice to 8½ inches by 11 inches; and allow the compensation notice to be posted separately or as a part of a Florida and federal labor law poster. The amendments will also incorporate the Spanish version of the anti-fraud reward program notice form by reference and add the required Department of State link and the Division of Workers’ Compensation website addresses for obtaining both versions of the compensation notices and the anti-fraud reward program notices.

SUBJECT:

Compensation notice and anti-fraud reward program notice.
