State of Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission

MEMORANDUM NO. 1998-05

Voluntary Agreements

 

TO: All Commissioners, District Supervisors, Self-Insureds, Insurance Carriers, Attorneys, Unions, Advisory Board, Legal Advisory Panel
FROM: Jesse M. Frankl, Chairman
DATE: April 14, 1998
RE: Voluntary Agreements

 

I have advised the commissioners to discuss Voluntary Agreements at all informal hearings. If an agreement has been reached between the parties prior to an informal hearing, the Voluntary Agreement should be submitted at that hearing.

It is imperative that Voluntary Agreements be filed. Please note that an employer/insurer may be subject to a fine if a Voluntary Agreement is not submitted.
