Workers' compensation: labor contractors.

Summary

Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of employment. Existing law requires every employer except the state to secure payment of compensation to injured employees, as specified. Existing law establishes within the Department of Industrial Relations the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation to examine the workers' compensation system and authorizes the commission to conduct or contract for studies. This bill would require the commission to report to the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2024, any widespread issues or instances of client employers or labor contractors, as defined, being used to shift workers'compensation responsibility away from those employers who control jobsite risk to employees, among other things.
