N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 51: Posting of notice regarding compensation

§ 51. Posting of notice regarding compensation. Every employer who has

complied with section fifty of this article shall post and maintain in a

conspicuous place or places in and about his place or places of business

typewritten or printed in English and Spanish notices in form prescribed

by the chairman, stating the fact that he has complied with all the

rules and regulations of the chairman and the board and that he has

secured the payment of compensation to his employees and their

dependents in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, but

failure to post such notice as herein provided shall not in any way

affect the exclusiveness of the remedy provided for by section eleven of

this chapter. Every employer who owns or operates automotive or

horse-drawn vehicles and has no minimum staff of regular employees

required to report for work at an established place of business

maintained by such employer and every employer who is engaged in the

business of moving household goods or furniture shall post such notices

in each and every vehicle owned or operated by him. Failure to post or

maintain such notice in any of said vehicles shall constitute

presumptive evidence that such employer has failed to secure the payment

of compensation. The chairman may require any employer to furnish a

written statement at any time showing the stock corporation, mutual

corporation or reciprocal insurer in which such employer is insured or

the manner in which such employer has complied with any provision of

this chapter. Failure for a period of ten days to furnish such written

statement shall constitute presumptive evidence that such employer has

neglected or failed in respect of any of the matters so required. Any

employer who fails to comply with the provisions of this section shall

be required to pay to the board a fine of five hundred dollars for each

violation, in addition to any other penalties imposed by law to be

deposited into the uninsured employers' fund.
