Administrative Director is

• A. The head of the DIR
• B. The head of the DWC
• C. Head of WCAB
• D. Assistant to Director

Answer: (B)

The Administrative Director is the chief administrator of the Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC). In California, the DWC sits within the Department of Industrial Relations and runs the workers’ compensation program, including claims processing, medical policy, and regulatory functions. The Administrative Director leads the DWC’s operations, budget, and staff, making decisions that shape how the division administers the system. This role is distinct from the Director of Industrial Relations, who heads the entire department; from the head of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, which is a separate body; and from an Assistant to the Director, which is a supporting role. So the Administrative Director being the head of the DWC correctly identifies the position.
