Article Structure

The 101 Massachusetts form, officially known as the Employer's First Report of Injury or Fatality, is a crucial document for employers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This form must be submitted when an employee experiences an injury that leads to death or results in five or more calendar days of total or partial incapacity to earn wages. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the Department of Industrial Accidents is informed promptly about workplace injuries, allowing for appropriate follow-up and support for affected employees. The form requires detailed information about the injured employee, including their name, contact details, Social Security number, and employment specifics. Additionally, it captures essential data about the injury itself, such as the date it occurred, the nature of the injury, and whether it happened on the employer's premises. Employers are also required to provide information about their workers' compensation insurance and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Filing this form within seven calendar days is not just a procedural step; it is mandated by law, with penalties for non-compliance. Understanding how to accurately complete and submit the 101 Massachusetts form is vital for employers to fulfill their responsibilities and ensure that employees receive the necessary benefits and support following a workplace injury.
