Depending on the state reporting,
information may vary.
Workers Compensation claims history reports can contain
abbreviated information taken from two types of government documents:
Report of Injury and Court Contested Claims. Some states also have
privately reported information available. The amount of information
varies from state to state. Some reports have: date of injury, time
lost, employer during the time of incident, type of injury, body part
and job related disability. Other states only show number of claims
filed with no other information. Workers Compensation
information is considered to be health and disability related under the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In order to be in compliance with
this federal act, an employer must NOT ask any questions about an
applicant for employment that is connected with health and disability
unless, and until, the employer has made a tentative job offer to the
employee applicant or has made an actual job offer which is NOT tentative.
Be very careful with this information.
• Reveal the safety history of your applicant to
determine if they represent a danger to the employee or others
• Location of employers which were left off the
job application due to Workers Compensation claims |
