1998 SESSION
SB 443 Workers' compensation; voluntary payments.
Introduced by: Richard J. Holland | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Voluntary payments. Allows employers, when making workers' compensation benefit payments, to deduct from the payments any voluntary payments which were not due and payable. Current law allows deducting the voluntary payments by shortening the time period during which benefits are paid to the injured employee. This bill allows the weekly benefits to be reduced by an amount not to exceed one-fourth of the amount of the compensation for as long as necessary for the employer to recover his voluntary payment.
