Friday, April 1, 2022 | 0
A bill introduced in the New York state Senate would eliminate penalties assessed against employers or insurers for not complying with certain notice requirements relating to payment and cessation of compensation in select circumstances.
SB 8693, introduced Wednesday, would eliminate the penalty imposed for failure to notice the New York Workers' Compensation Board chair of ceased payments within 16 days. The bill would also eliminate penalties for failure to file a notice of compensation within 10 days of payment.
The bill was referred to the Senate Labor Committee, where it is pending.
