What happens to the uninsured employer?
Before any payments are made from the Fund, liens in the amounts of any payments that may be made from the Fund are docketed against the employer in the Superior Court. Although not payable by the Fund, any permanent disability benefits awarded and unpaid by the employer are also docketed on behalf of the injured worker. In addition, the employer is subject to a penalty of up to $6,000 after an award has been unpaid. This amount is also docketed against the employer in the Superior Court.
