Workcover gets social?

It's one of those, I never thought I'd see the day moments. What? WorkCover NSW has a Facebook page! Blow me down.

Just goes to show the power of the social media network when an organisation like this has a presence.
And the WorkCover Facebook page isn't bad, either. Not only is it a good forum for employees hearing about other workers' stories, and getting advice, there's advice for business owners in the Talking Safety section. Worth a look.

When it comes to WorkCover, it pays for small business owners to be informed. I heard a terrifying story just yesterday of one business being found out for not having paid up their workers' compensation. The only way anyone found out was when an employee had to claim for an injury. Stay tuned for the drama.

You owe it to your employees and your business to be up on the latest in workers' comp and what you have to legally do with all your employees' entitlements.

Sites like WorkCover NSW offer some good information for anyone who does, or is thinking about, hiring staff (you'll find similar info on every state workers' comp organisation's website).

Take their advice on board!
