Workers Compensation
A quick check of an applicant’s worker’s compensation claim history can help employers determine if applicants can perform the essential functions of the job. Specifically, this information can help you gauge an employee’s ability to complete assigned tasks without injury.
Worker's compensation. In most states when an employee's claim goes through the state system or the Worker's Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB), the case becomes public record. An employer may only use this information if an injury might interfere with one's ability to perform required duties. Under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, employers cannot use medical information or the fact an applicant filed a worker's compensation claim to discriminate against applicants. (42 USC §12101).
