Analyze Costs/Benefits of Offering Modified DutiesControlling Future Premiums

Employers offer modified work while an em-ployee is on workers’ compensation to keep the company’s workers’ compensation expe-rience rating low, which helps to keep down future premium increases.

By paying the employee directly, the carrier will not be paying out temporary disability payments and adding to the experience on the claim. Modified work may be offered as long as the employee is not totally disabled and the work offered is currently within the employee’s work restrictions.

An employer is not required to modify the ex-isting job, create a similar job or even provide

I have an employee who is out because of a workers’ compensation injury. If he brings in a note from his doctor with work restric-tions, do I have to offer light duty or modify the work schedule? If I offer modified work, can an employee refuse the work because he does not like the job?

An employer is not required to modify a work schedule or provide light duty to an employee on workers’ compensation; neither is the em-ployee obligated to accept modified work.

There may, however, be cost benefits and consequences to an employer for not offering modified work and for an employee in not ac-cepting that work.

a job that the employee likes. If modified work is offered and the employee refuses to do the work, the employee runs the risk of being de-nied temporary disability payments by the workers’ compensation insurance carrier.

If an employer offers modified work for the employee with a workers’ compensation in-jury, the employer is required to pay the em-ployee at least 85% of the employee’s regular pay. This pay requirement also operates as an incentive to the employee to accept modified work in that temporary workers’ compensa-tion disability benefits are about 60% of the regular pay rate.

Opportunity to Get Tasks Done

Many employees would rather be doing something instead of sitting at home doing nothing. The modified work also provides an opportunity for the employer to get other productive tasks done, including work in the office, painting, cleaning, inventory, restock-ing, etc.

As long as the job meets the medical provid-er’s work restrictions, the choice of where the employee works and what he/she does is up to the employer.

Capitol Connection Q & A for ContractorsBy Shauna Krause, President, Capitol Services, Inc.

Paperless office? Not on Earth! Keeping docu-mentation to prove a point is often required. As our first aspiring contractor will learn having a ‘paper trail’ is an issue that may make or break his dream of getting licensed. We help clear the air obscuring an opportunity for solar work across the border before sharing a tip on reducing costs in becoming an LLC in California…

Q: I called the Contractors Board and was told that I might not be able to get a license since I was paid “under the table”. Is this true? I have the required four years experience.

A: The person at CSLB likely told you that a ran-dom percentage of applications are sent out for investigation. All applications are evaluated to determine if the applicant has the required years of experience. However, in determining if an ap-plication is sent out for a more formal investiga-tion, the Board may look at a number of factors including your age; how many years experience you have; and whether your background is self-employed or as owner-builder. Also, a small percentage of applicants are selected totally at random.

If for any reason your application is flagged, you’ll likely be asked to provide proof of your contracting background beyond the required Certification of Work Experience. This ‘trail’ of proof can be through pay-stubs, tax returns, or

other means showing how much you were paid and for how long. If you were paid “under the table” it may be difficult to produce documen-tation showing that in fact you performed the work you claim.

Q: My Company does solar electrical work. We are based in California and we have a “B” General Building license here. We are interested in doing the same type of work in Arizona but are unsure what the proper classification would be. Is it the same as California? Can we do solar work with a General Building license?

A: There are several classifications in Arizona that allow you to do solar work, unfortunately I have to tell you the General Building license is not one of them. For solar electrical you would be required to obtain an “L-11” Commercial Elec-trical, a “C-11” Residential Electrical, or a “K-11” Dual Electrical classification. Fortunately, we have assisted contractors with Arizona licens-ing for many year and if you’d like our assistance with this process give us a call.

Q: I am in the process of obtaining a Contractors License for my Limited Liability Company (LLC). As you probably know, an additional bond is needed for a CA LLC in the amount of $100,000. My bonding company is asking that we get an Irrevocable Letter of Credit in order to obtain this bond. Is this standard?

A: According to the bonding company resource we consulted, the Irrevocable Letter of Credit (ILOC) is an option for an LLC that may not want to be submitted for credit consideration. It is also a way to reduce the fee for the bond. From what we’ve heard from many of our LLC appli-cants, the LLC/Worker bond has a minimum pre-mium of $5000, so if you are able to secure an ILOC then that fee is greatly reduced. You can apply for an ILOC with your bank, but please note that the bank must first be approved through the bonding company. Tax or other legal issues aren’t addressed here so a call to your tax advisor is always a good thought in making important business decisions.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assis-tance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

completely from his/her injury. Both state and federal anti-discrimination laws re-quire employers to consider options for the employee. It is wise to consult with legal counsel before taking any negative action against someone on workers’ compensa-tion.

Discipline Promptly

Employers frequently complain they were just on the verge of terminating an em-ployee with performance issues when the employee got hurt. If there is a lack of docu-mentation as to the performance issues/lack of warnings, the employer’s subsequent de-cision to terminate would be viewed quite skeptically by the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, the entity that would hear a claim that 132a had been violated. This supports the reasoning that if an employee is not performing well, promptly discipline him/her and don’t delay an obvious need to terminate the employment.

Once an employee on workers’ compensa-tion becomes “permanent and stationary” (P&S), that means the injury is permanent and shouldn’t get any worse. At that point, if it is clear that the employee can never come back to his/her original job, then the employer can terminate the employment.

Seek Legal Counsel

When faced with a 132a claim, employers can assert a “business necessities” defense. This defense requires that the employer prove that the termination was necessary and directly related to business realities. It can be a difficult assessment, and again—employers should seek legal counsel before making any decision to terminate.

This article covers only a very basic over-view of this topic; it is a complicated area of the law going far beyond the scope of this article.

Analyze Costs/Benefits of Offering Modified DutiesContinued from page 1

Reasons an employer may choose not to of-fer modified work are:

Work cannot be modified to meet the •employee’s restrictions;Fear that the employee may reinjure •himself/herself if working; andFeeling that the employee would be in •the way or have a bad attitude if made to do something other than his/her regular job.

See How It Goes

Rather than assume the worst, an employer may want to try modified work and see how it goes.

Having the employee working during workers’ compensation may be better for the employee in terms of pay and for the employer in terms of keeping future work-ers’ compensation premiums lower. Before making a decision about modified work, an employer should review this issue on a cost/benefit basis to determine what is best for the company.

Take Care to Avoid Discriminating Against Employee on Workers’ Comp

Our employee went out on a workers’ com-pensation claim more than a year ago. His doctor keeps extending his disability. How long do we have to keep his job open be-fore terminating the working relationship?In general, once employees go out on work-ers’ compensation, their position is protect-ed and they can come back to that job once they recover.

No Discrimination

California Labor Code Section 132a holds there can be no discrimination against em-ployees who are injured in the course and scope of their employment, and termina-tion is considered to be the ultimate form of discrimination.

If an employer is found liable for Section 132a, the remedies available for the em-ployee include reinstatement, restoration of lost back pay and benefits, and a penalty of the lesser of 50% of the compensation given to the employee or $10,000.

There may be reasonable accommodation issues under state law when someone is ready to come back, but hasn’t recovered

Sexual Harassment TrainingApril 1, 2013

Presented by: Naomi R. Dewey, PrincipalBuynak, Fauver, Archbald & Spray LLP

Harassment training for supervisors has always been a good idea; now it is required by law. AB 1825 (Now Government Code Section 12950.1) requires that all California employers with 50 or more employees provide at least two hours of harassment avoidance training to all supervisors once every two years. Moreover, new supervisors or newly promoted supervisors must receive the required training within six months of hire or promotion. For smaller employers, providing harassment training for employees can also help protect you against harassment claims and lawsuits. This training is mandatory for any supervisor who hires, fires, disciplines, and/or directs the work of one or more other employee.

The seminar will cover the following topics:Discrimination • The laws against illegal sexual harassment• The costs and remedies of harassment• Identifying unlawful sexual harassment• Preventing and stopping sexual harassment• Retaliation• Hypothetical situations•

Naomi is a principal at Buynak, Fauver, Archbald & Spray, where she represents contractors and business owners in employment and business law matters. An experienced litigator, she focuses on helping clients manage risk and avoid litigation wherever possible. For employment clients, she provides advice on all aspects of the employer/employee relationship, handling issues ranging from pre-employment screening to employment agreements, employee handbooks and workplace policies, disciplinary matters and release from employment.
