In salary continuation cases, the DWC notice should include:

• A. Payment of salary continuation only
• B. Explanation of the salary continuation plan
• C. A list of all medical providers
• D. No additional information is required

Answer: (B)

Spelling out how the salary continuation plan works is essential in the DWC notice. The employee needs a clear description of what the plan provides, how much is paid, for how long, and the conditions for eligibility, plus how these payments coordinate with workers’ compensation benefits. This transparency helps the employee understand any offsets, the impact on temporary disability or medical benefits, and what to expect during the recovery period. For that reason, the notice should include an explanation of the salary continuation plan.
