Relating to workers' compensation.

Provisions

  1. Adds working members who own less than 25% of the membership interest of an LLC to the definition of employee.
  2. Sets the basis for computing wages and compensation benefits. (Sec. 1)
  3. Removes language prohibiting a self-insurance pool to require an employee be treated by a specific physician. (Sec. 3)
  4. Removes the requirement for the Commission to send a claim form to an employee if the Commission is notified of the injury. (Sec. 5)

Current Law

Any business that has regularly employed workers must obtain workers' compensation insurance. Employers may secure workers' compensation in one of two ways:

  2. By providing proof of ability to pay compensation directly or through a workers' compensation pool (A.R.S. § 23-961).

Workers' compensation is a "no-fault" system in which an injured employee is entitled to receive benefits for an industrial injury, no matter who caused the job-related accident.
