Whitney HB No. 783
Abstract: Provides workers' compensation informational notice requirements for PEOs, ASOs,
and other human resource outsourcing agencies.
Present law requires employers to print a notice which informs employees that in the case of
accidental injury or death, the employee or other party entitled to compensation must notify the
employer of the injury within 30 days.
Present law further provides that if no notice is given to the employer within the allotted time, no
compensation payments will be made.
Present law provides that if no notice is posted, the injured person or beneficiary has up to 12
months from the date of injury to notify the employer.
Proposed law retains present law and further provides that when an employer has signed an
agreement with a PEO, ASO, or other human resource outsourcing agency, and workers'
compensation coverage is provided by the organization or agency, the employer is required to
include the posting for the agency or organization.
