SB 1159 – New Employer COVID-19 Reporting Requirements

As we stated this in our email last week we wanted to provide you with these requirements here.

DiBuduo & DeFendis would like to make you aware of one provision of SB1159 that is time sensitive.
OVERVIEW FOR REPORTING NONWORK-RELATED POSITIVE COVID-19 CASES TO THEIR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CARRIER PER SB1159 EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 17, 2020

California Labor Code Section 3212.88(i) states that, “When the employer knows or reasonably should know that an employee has tested positive for COVID-19, the employer shall report to their claims administration in writing via electronic mail or facsimile within three business days all of the following”:
1. For purposes of this reporting, the employer shall not provide any personally identifiable information regarding the employee who tested positive for COVID-19 unless the employee asserts the infection is work related or has filed a claim form pursuant to Section 5401.
2. The date that the employee tests positive.
3. The specific address or addresses of the employee’s specific place of employment during the 14-day period preceding the date of the employee’s positive test.
4. The highest number of employees who reported to work at the employee’s specific place of employment in the 45-day period preceding the last day the employee worked at each specific place of employment.
5. Policy name and number 
Every employer in California is also required to complete a COVID-19 log and send to their carrier by October 17th. This is for ALL POSITIVE COVID-19 cases retroactively to July 6th. To assist you with compliance with the current COVID-19 reporting requirements, you can utilize this EXCEL FORM.

A more complete summary of SB1159 will be available on our website at www.dibu.com.
