Section 80. Rule 7. Employer responsibilities

1. Proof of insurance coverage. Every employer subject to the Act shall file with the commission proof of compliance with the insurance provisions (§§ 65.2-800 and 65.2-801) of the Act. A notice from the insurer (Form No. 45F) certifying this fact will be received as acceptable proof.

2. Posting notices. Every employer subject to the Act shall post and keep posted, conspicuously, in the plant, shop or place of business at a location frequented by employees, notice of compliance with the provisions of the Act. Such notice shall follow substantially the form prescribed by the commission. The commission will supply employers with printed notices upon request. Failure by an employer to give such notice to an employee may constitute waiver of the notice defense pursuant to § 65.2-600 of the Code of Virginia.
