Sec.  10.211  What are the employer's responsibilities in COP cases?



    Once the employer learns of a traumatic injury sustained by an 

employee, it shall:

    (a) Provide a Form CA-1 and Form CA-16 to authorize medical care in 

accordance with Sec.  10.300. Failure to do so may mean that OWCP will 

not uphold any termination of COP by the employer.

    (b) Advise the employee of the right to receive COP, and the need to 

elect among COP, annual or sick leave or leave without pay, for any 

period of disability.

    (c) Inform the employee of any decision to controvert COP and/or 

terminate pay, and the basis for doing so.

    (d) Complete Form CA-1 and transmit it, along with all other 

available pertinent information, (including the basis for any 

controversion), to OWCP within 10 working days after receiving the 

completed form from the employee.
