Important Notice About Your California Workers' Compensation Policy (New Law Effective January 1, 2017)

On January 1, 2017, a new law goes into effect in California that redefines which employees are automatically included within the coverage of your workers' compensation policy and which employees are eligible to be excluded from the policy.

The California Department of Insurance (CDI) has advised that this law applies to all existing, new, and renewal policies. Because this change in the law affects existing policies and imposes additional restrictions on any employee who wishes to remain excluded from coverage as of January 1, 2017, those employees who are eligible for exclusion must take action now to reaffirm their eligibility to be excluded under the current policy and must provide the required documentation.

The following is an overview of what you will need to do if vou have employees who have excluded themselves under your current policy (click here to learn more about what you may need to do before January 1, 2017 or visit www.bpscllc.com)...
