Audit: Industrial Commission Lax in Monitoring Worker’s Comp

RALEIGH — The report from state Auditor Beth Wood’s office said the Industrial Commission needs to ramp up its efforts to collect assessed penalties that fail to comply with the state’s Workers’ Compensation Act. That act requires most companies doing business in the state to carry worker's compensation coverage to pay benefits to a worker or a worker’s family if the worker is injured or dies on the job.
