The Southern California Painters & Allied Trades Employer Group(the Trust) has set up a Workers’ Compensation deal for its members. Here's a quick rundown of what this Workers Compensation Agreement is all about.
Workers’ Comp insurance is a must-have by law, and the UNION is on it to make sure you get every benefit you deserve.
When we all pull together to keep Workers’ Compensation and overhead costs in check, Union Contractors can keep their edge in the market. This way, the contractor can keep offering jobs and benefits, helping us all work towards our shared goals.
If you're an employee under the Trust’s Workers’ Compensation Program, you're covered by workers’ comp as outlined in Labor Code §3201.5. This law swaps out the traditional courts of the workers’ comp system with a smoother ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION method. All the workers’ comp benefits under the program are just as good, if not better, than the traditional setup.
An ombudsperson is a designated neutral person who provides confidential and informal assistance in resolving concerns and disagreements. An ombudsperson investigates complaints, reports findings, and mediates fair settlements, especially between an individual or group of individuals and an institution or organization. As an independent, impartial, and confidential party, the ombudsperson serves as an alternative means of dispute resolution by which issues may be raised, considered, given appropriate referral, and/or resolved.
When you participate in our ADR program, our ombudsperson is available to help you during the life of your claim at no cost to you.
