• Claim Reporting:  In this session, Dean Schade will cover why timely reporting of claims is important for protecting the employee from further injury, managing the claim correctly and why it’s essential for improving safety in the workplace. Dean will also explain the safety grant and innovation award programs that the IMWCA Board set up in 2019. Previous successful projects will be discussed to help attendees understand what the committee is looking for in applications. The application process will also be covered.
   
• Youth Employees: Youth (child labor/minors) often are indispensable in local government workplaces. Youth are especially important when it comes to seasonal workers. Join Lisa Mart as she discusses the different ways local governments rely on youth workers, the different laws and regulations that cover youth workers and tips for employers to successfully manage these youth. Lisa will also be talking about junior/cadet/student firefighters and the new coverage initiative that IMWCA will be offering on July 1, 2021.
    
• Volunteers: Join Andrew Justice as he helps you understand volunteers as it relates to workers’ compensation coverage. Participants learn about non-statutory and statutory volunteers, with an emphasis on the differences between the two. Explore coverage options for volunteers not automatically covered by Chapter 85 of the Iowa Code.
