Adjudicator contacts policy manager if questioning elected coverage. Policy managers in Employer Services determine worker's compensation coverage for claims. If an adjudicator receives information that raises questions about coverage on a particular claim, the adjudicator contacts the policy manager. 2. Worker must provide wage information. When a worker contends time-loss compensation, the adjudicator calculates the wages. To validate the information on the accident report, the adjudicator must obtain wage information from the worker. Acceptable documentation includes: Tax records (which fairly represent work patterns). Payroll records (to identify wages paid to the worker). Employers Quarterly Report of Hours for Industrial Insurance. Other records, such as quarterly reports, check registers and time records (to document the workers work schedule).
