Are there changes coming to the employers first report, DLSR form 5020?
Yes. AB 2181, which was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger on Sept. 30, 2008, amends Labor Code sections 6409.1 and 6410 by authorizing DWC to create a new employer’s first report of occupational injury or illness. The new employer’s report, which will replace the current form 5020 administered by the Division of Labor Statistics and Research (DLSR), will be submitted to DWC by insurers and self-insured employers via the WCIS.
