Pennsylvania’s Mandatory Workers’ Compensation Posting Update

Pennsylvania’s Department of Labor has recently revised its workers’ compensation notice posting. By law, all Pennsylvania employers are required to post this notice (LIBC-500) in a prominent and easily accessible location in the workplace. The posting includes the name, address and telephone number of the insurer or other appropriate party to contact regarding workers’ compensation claims or to request information.

The posting’s major revision was the addition of an insurance warning notice. Individuals, including employers, employees, health care providers, attorneys, and insurers, are subject to criminal and civil penalties if he or she intends to defraud by knowingly presenting false, incomplete or misleading information to the state or local government agency that determines if workers’ compensation insurance is approved or denied.

Compliance Poster Company is offering two options for employers to stay compliant- Pennsylvania All-On-OneTM Poster and Pennsylvania 2015 Workers’ Compensation Peel ‘N PostTM.
