If an employer fails to post the required workers' compensation notice and an employee is later injured, the missing posting can:
Explicación
Labor Code §3550(a) makes failure to post the workers' compensation notice a misdemeanor, and §3550(e) provides that the failure is admissible as evidence in a proceeding against the employer - in practice it undercuts any argument that the worker knew of and slept on the claim, so the limitation defense weakens. (b) is the belief that a posting is a formality with no downstream effect, and it is the reason the notice goes missing from trailers. (c) inverts the injury: the worker's coverage is unaffected, since it comes from the policy, not the poster - the only party harmed is the employer. (d) borrows the UI experience-rating mechanism, which responds to unemployment claims, not to posting failures.
