NOTICE: Fillable Version of K-WC 1101-A Accident Report Available

As a convenience to our customers, the K-WC 1101-A Accident Report, formerly known as the Employer's Report of Accident, is now available in a fillable (interactive) PDF version. This version can be filled out online and saved to your computer, or downloaded first to your computer to use as a master copy and then filled out and saved with a different filename. You then print out and mail or fax the form to the Division; the Division does not accept e-mailed accident reports at this time. The second page contains instructions. We no longer include a page to fill out for your OSHA file, since the OSHA reporting requirements have changed since this page was added to our form as a convenience years ago. There is a web address in the instructions where you can find current OSHA reporting requirements.

 

NOTICE: Employer and Employee Handbook Available

K-WC 25, Workers Compensation Information for Kansas Employers & Employees, is once again available for download. Download here or go to our Forms and Publications: 2011 New Law page. This publication has been updated based on changes to the law effective May 15, 2011 with the passage of Substitute for House Bill 2134.

 

NOTICE: Workers Compensation Bill Available

The workers comp bill (Substitute for HB 2134) as signed by Governor Brownback can be found on the Forms and Publications page immediately under the Statutes & Regulations heading. This is the enrolled bill version, complete with strikethroughs and italics. The Division will have a cleaned version of the individual statutes in its new law book to be published this fall. Important: The statutes in this bill apply only to injuries sustained at work on or after May 15, 2011.
