The Workers’ Compensation Division is part of the Department of Consumer and Business
Services. Other programs with DCBS also deal with aspects of the workers’ compensation
system. These include the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division, The Workers’ Compensation Board, the Ombudsman for Injured Workers, the Ombudsman for Small
Business,
The Management-Labor Advisory Committee, and the Insurance Division. Working
together,
these programs have slashed Oregon’s workers’ compensation premiums.
The Worker’s Compensation Division (WCD) administers and enforces Oregon’s workers’ compensation laws. WCD works to ensure that employers provide coverage for their workers,
that workers with occupational injuries or diseases receive their entitled benefits, and that
parties are provided with resources and procedures for fair resolution of disputes. This
regulatory responsibility is balanced with fair and consistent policies that encourage a healthy
business climate for companies regulated by the division.
WCD administers several special-funded reserves designed to benefit employers and workers.
Notable among these is the Workers’ Benefit Fund, which provides incentives to employers
in the form of reduced workers’ compensation and operation costs for employers re-employing
injured workers.
