Checklist 

Ready to start on your own? Follow the checklist below to complete these items prior to your coverage effective date. (Files to download are PDFs.) 

  1. Ensure personnel and all buildings are properly posted with required WC Notices: 
  2. Distribute “Employee Notice of Alliance” (available in English and Spanish) to every employee. Consider adding “Employee Notice of Alliance” to Member Intranet and/or Employee Manual. 
  3. Have every employee sign and date the “Employee Alliance Acknowledgement” form. Employees sign this form only once unless they are injured at work, at which time they are asked to sign again. Please ensure the form is in the new employee hire packet to sign. Keep initial acknowledgment in your records and furnish only if requested by an adjuster. 
  4. Provide the link to Find a Doctor on the Alliance website to your principals, supervisors, managers, and secretaries to ensure they can find the closest treating physicians. Please note that in an emergency, the employee should go to the nearest emergency room.
