New WC Posting Notices Required In Texas

Effective December 20th, 2006 the Office of Injured Employee Counsel (OIEC) has adopted a rule that requires employers to post the employee notice of ombudsman services in their workplace.

  • Employers must post the notice in their personnel office, if the employer has a personnel office, and in the workplace where employees are likely to see it.
  • The notice shall be the text provided by OIEC without any additional words or changes. It must be in provided in English, Spanish and any other language common to employees, although, currently, it is only available in English and Spanish.

We will provide the notice to our policyholders as part of their WC policy kit materials when we send out new and renewal policies.

The notice can be downloaded from the OIEC website at: www.oiec.state.tx.us or it can be requested by calling OIEC’s toll-free telephone number at 1-866-EZE-OIEC (1-866-393-6432).
