Please use this form to notify EMPLOYERS of every work-related injury or disease suffered by an employee, regardless of severity.
- DWC1a Wage Statement. This form enables us to calculate the correct compensation that may be owed to your injured employee.

- Workers’ Compensation Temporary Treatment I.D. Form. Please complete this form and provide it to your injured worker for initial treatment. This helps medical providers recognize that initial treatment may be due to a work related injury and is covered by EMPLOYERS.

When your employee becomes injured, please print and complete this form and provide it to your injured employee.
