re: Louisiana Workers Comp Questions

There is NO requirement for a drug test. WC is an insurance polucy that employers are required ti have for all employees. The LA Works (formerly the LA Dept of Labor) website under; a Divisioncalled the Office of Workers’ Compensation has all the answers you will need. All premiums paid by the employer are determined at the beginning of the policy period based on wage record and job classification. They have forms on the website to use. First report of injury, etc. NOTE that it is against the law to make a false misrepresentation (lie) to get benefits. Harrassment by an employer is a dick move and can subject them to civil penalties. If you are hurt, report it. Be truthful. WC policy will cover medical costs as well as upto 66% of your salary should the injury prevent you from working.
