Workers Compensation Working Group

The Workers Compensation Working Group examines Hawaii's workers' compensation system, which provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured on the job, and recommends policy changes to improve fairness, efficiency, and outcomes for injured workers and employers. The group reviews issues such as benefit adequacy, medical care access, dispute resolution, and insurance premium structures that affect the cost and functioning of the system. Its recommendations inform legislation and administrative rule changes governing workers' compensation in Hawaii.

Every Hawaii worker is covered by the workers' compensation system, and the working group's recommendations shape what benefits you can receive if you are injured at work. Injured workers, employers, insurers, and labor advocates can engage with the working group to advocate for improvements to the system.
