Dispute Management Unit

Google Search


This unit is responsible for providing information and attempting to resolve disputes between employers and injured employees prior to a case escalating to formal litigation. The number is 1-800-775-COMP (2667). Referrals are made to the Dispute Management Unit when it appears that a dispute can be resolved at the early stages of a case by intervention from the Division. Written requests for mediation from injured workers also are received by the mediators to determine if any disputes can be resolved by telephone conferences, rather than a personal appearance at one of the adjudication offices.
