EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
In exchange for being employed by Intel Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or successors (collectively called “Intel”) in this Agreement, I agree to the following:
1. General Conduct.
I will perform my assigned Intel duties and comply with all Intel policies, procedures, guidelines, rules, and instructions, including Intel’s Code of Conduct, Employment Guidelines and Corporate Information Security and Security policies.
2. Prior Third Party Information.
I will not bring to Intel, disclose to anyone at Intel, or use as part of my Intel work any proprietary or confidential information of any former employer or third party without their written authorization.
3. Confidential Information and Intel Property.
During and after my Intel employment, I will hold in strict confidence and not disclose or use any Confidential Information connected with Intel business or the business of any of Intel’s suppliers, customers, employees, or contractors unless (i) such disclosure or use is required in connection with my Intel work, (ii) such information becomes lawfully and publicly known outside Intel, or (iii) an Intel officer expressly authorizes such disclosure or use in advance and in writing. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information includes, without limitation: technical information (e.g. roadmaps, schematics, source code, specifications), business information (e.g. product information, marketing strategies, markets, sales, customers, customer lists or phone books), personnel information (e.g. organizational charts, employee lists, skill sets, employee health information, names, phone numbers, email addresses, personnel files, employee compensation except where the disclosure of such personnel information is permissible under local labor law such as the right of employees to discuss compensation and working conditions under the US National Labor Relations Act), and other non-public Intel data and information of a similar nature. I understand and agree that all Confidential Information that I acquire in connection with my Intel employment is Intel’s exclusive property. I agree to return to Intel all of its Confidential Information (hard or soft copies; originals and copies) as well as all devices and equipment belonging to Intel (including computers, handheld electronic devices, telephone equipment and other electronic devices) either at the termination of my Intel employment or upon Intel’s request. I agree that any violation of this provision will result in immediate and irreparable injuries and harm to Intel, and that Intel shall have the option of pursuing all available legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief and specific performance.
4. Ownership of Proprietary Developments.
Except as provided in the next sentence, I agree that all trade secrets, copyrights, mask works, trademarks, inventions (including service inventions), discoveries, designs, formulae, processes, methods, manufacturing techniques, improvements, ideas, copyrightable works, and other intellectual property which I create, invent or discover alone or with others during my Intel employment, (collectively “Proprietary Developments”) are Intel’s sole property from the moment of their creation, invention or discovery. This shall not apply to an invention that I develop entirely on my own time without using Intel equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, except for those inventions that either: (1) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to Intel business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Intel; or (2) result from any work performed by me for Intel. I agree that Intel has and shall always have sole legal and equitable title to all Proprietary Developments and I have no right to compensation for such Proprietary Developments. I agree to promptly disclose Proprietary Developments to Intel, and to the full extent allowed by law, but only to the extent not already owned by Intel pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law, hereby assign to Intel all rights in the Proprietary Developments. I agree that during and after my employment with Intel I will provide all assistance that Intel reasonably requests to secure or enforce its rights throughout the world with respect to Proprietary Developments, including signing all necessary documents to secure or memorialize those rights. If I fail or refuse to sign documents necessary to secure or enforce Intel’s rights, or if Intel cannot locate me through the exercise of reasonable diligence, I irrevocably appoint Intel or its designee as my attorney to sign such documents in my name. I waive any rights that I may have in any Proprietary Developments and, to the extent that such waiver is ineffective under applicable law until a Proprietary Development is created, invented or discovered, I agree to waive such rights immediately upon the creation, invention or discovery of such Proprietary Development.
5. Licensed and Non-Licensed Preexisting Employee Intellectual Property.
As used in this Agreement “Preexisting Employee Intellectual Property” means intellectual property that I created prior to my employment with Intel.
I have specifically listed in Appendix A all Preexisting Employee Intellectual Property that I, in whole or in part, own or control, or have the right to license and intend to exclude from licensing to Intel (“Identified Employee Controlled Intellectual Property”).
I agree that I will not use or disclose during my employment any Identified Employee Controlled Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of Intel. If I disclose or use any Identified Employee Controlled
Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of Intel, I automatically and immediately grant Intel a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except within Intel), perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, world-wide license to all of the Identified Employee Controlled Intellectual Property disclosed or used with the right to sublicense, to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, reproduce, have reproduced, prepare derivative works of, distribute, and otherwise dispose of, any product or document, under all patents, trade secrets, copyrights and copyrightable works, mask works, trademarks, inventions, discoveries, designs, formulae, processes, methods, manufacturing techniques, improvements, and ideas.
I have also listed in Appendix A all Preexisting Employee Intellectual Property in which I have an economic interest (but do not own or control) and for which I do not have the right to grant a license to Intel.
For the avoidance of doubt, I agree that any Preexisting Employee Intellectual Property that I, in whole or in part, own, control or have the right to license and that is neither Identified Employee Controlled Intellectual Property nor identified in Appendix A prior to my employment in sufficient detail to Intel to identify its subject matter is licensed to Intel in the same manner and scope as disclosed or used Identified Employee Intellectual Property.
I agree that if I fail to make any required disclosure or breach any term of Sections 4 and 5, any applicable limitations periods shall be tolled and shall not run as to any claim, right, or cause of action Intel may have relating to such disclosure or breach that would have been discovered had the required disclosure been made, until such time as Intel obtains actual knowledge of the facts giving rise to such claim. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit other remedies otherwise available in law or in equity to Intel.
6. Non-solicitation and Misappropriation of Intel Trade Secrets.
I agree that for twelve (12) months after my employment ends, I will not solicit, directly or indirectly, any employee to leave his/her employment with Intel. This applies to any employees that were employed with Intel as of my separation date from the company. I further agree that I shall not use or disclose Intel Confidential Information to aid any third party to target, identify, and/or solicit Intel employees to leave Intel employment and/or misappropriate Intel trade secrets. I agree that any violation of this provision will result in immediate and irreparable injuries and harm to Intel, and that Intel shall have the option of pursuing all available legal or equitable remedies, including injunctive relief and specific performance. I understand that nothing in this Agreement prohibits me from disclosing my compensation information to third parties in accordance with applicable law.
7. Computer Communications Are Not Private.
I acknowledge that use of Intel’s computer systems is not private or confidential. I understand and consent to Intel’s right to review any communications to or from my work computer, pager, phone or other electronic device and all computer information, including any password-protected employee communications, in accordance with applicable law.
8. At-will Employment (U.S. only)
I acknowledge that my employment with Intel is “at-will” which means that both Intel and I have the right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without advance notice and with or without cause. I understand that if I become employed by an Intel entity outside the U.S., local employment and termination law will apply if inconsistent with this Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous.
I understand that if Intel Corporation is not my employer, Intel Corporation is signing this Agreement as agent for the Intel Corporation subsidiary, affiliate or successor that is my employer. The Agreement’s terms and conditions are severable. If any part of this Agreement is found or held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction in which this Agreement is being performed, such provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement and such provision as applied to other persons, places or circumstances shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement: (a) survives my employment with Intel; (b) inures to the benefit of successors and assigns of Intel; and (c) is binding upon my heirs, assigns, and legal representatives. I am not a party to any other agreement which will interfere with my full compliance with this Agreement, except as I have specifically identified in this Agreement. For U.S. employees, only a written agreement, signed by the Vice-President, General Manager of Human Resources can change the “at will” nature of your employment. The remainder of this Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing, signed by the parties. Only the Vice President, General Manager of Human Resources for Intel Corporation, or the General Counsel of Intel Corporation, or their delegate, has the authority to sign an Agreement modifying the remainder of this Agreement on behalf of Intel. This Agreement is effective the first day of my employment with Intel, and supersedes any prior employee agreement signed by me with Intel, relating to this subject matter. I have carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement and I understand and will fully and faithfully comply with all provisions.

Description of service you provided while an employee of this agency:
Welcome to Intel, Part of getting started at Intel is to make critical benefits decisions for you and your family. If you are eligible, you are automatically enrolled in the benefits described under Default Coverage below from your date of hire (except for Interns who default to no coverage). No action is required by you unless you wish to select different plan options, waive (no coverage) coverage for yourself, or enroll your eligible dependents. To research your options, costs, or to begin the enrollment process visit the My Health Benefits Web site; from Circuit, search for My Health Benefits or from the Internet at www.intel.com/go/myben. As a new hire I understand that:
√ I must take action within 30 days of my start date to either enroll or waive benefits for myself and any eligible dependents or I will be defaulted into the coverage described below.
The next opportunity to change my benefits will be during annual enrollment or if I experience a change-in-status event (e.g., marriage, birth of a child). Enrollment for any change-in-status event must be completed within 30 days of the date of the event.
√ I must select the same medical and dental plan for my dependents as I do for myself. √ The coverage I select will take effect back to my hire or rehire date.
I understand that my decision not to take action will result in the Default Coverage below:
√ I will be automatically enrolled in the Default Coverage which is the employee only coverage for medical (Anthem Blue Cross High Deductible Health Plan) at a cost of $0 per month, dental (Delta Dental) at a cost of $2.00 per month and basic vision plan (VSP) for $1.00 per month (except for Interns, who will default to no coverage)
You can change this default coverage by accessing the My Health Benefits Web site within the first 30 days from your hire or rehire date.
√ Short-Term Disability (STD): STD provides financial assistance if I am unable to work due to illness, injury, or pregnancy. NOTE: CA, NJ, NY, RI and HI make enrollment in STD mandatory.
If I live in CA, I will automatically be enrolled in the Intel California Voluntary Short Term Disability Plan (CA-VSTD) at a cost of 0.8% of wages to an annual maximum of $650.00. I understand I will be allowed to change to the CA state disability insurance plan (CA-STD) at a higher cost (1.0% of wages to an annual maximum of $1016.36), but will not be allowed to completely opt out of all plans. NOTE: The CA-VSTD provides richer coverage at a lower cost than the CA-SDI plan.
If I live in HI, I will be automatically enrolled in my state disability plan. I further understand that I will be auto-enrolled in the Intel STD plan as supplement coverage at a combined state STD Plan and Intel STD Plan cost of 0.8% of wages to an annual maximum of $604.68. You can only waive the supplemental default coverage by accessing the My Health Benefits Web site within the first 30 days from your hire or rehire date.
If I live in NJ, I will be automatically enrolled in my state disability plan. I further understand that I will be auto-enrolled in the Intel STD plan as supplement coverage at a combined state STD Plan and Intel STD Plan cost of 0.9% of wages to an annual maximum of $608.46. You can only waive the supplemental default coverage by accessing the My Health Benefits Web site within the first 30 days from your hire or rehire date.
If I live in NY, I will be automatically enrolled in my state disability plan. I further understand that I will be auto-enrolled in the Intel STD plan as supplement coverage at a combined state STD Plan and Intel STD Plan cost of 0.8% of wages to an annual maximum of $600. You can only waive the supplemental default coverage by accessing the My Health Benefits Web site within the first 30 days from your hire or rehire date.
If I live in RI, I will be automatically enrolled in my state disability plan at a cost of 1.2% of wages to an annual maximum of $752.40. You cannot waive this coverage.
If I live in any state not mentioned above, I will be automatically enrolled in the Intel STD plan at a cost of 0.8% of wages to an annual maximum of $600. You can waive this default coverage by accessing the My Health Benefits Web site within the first 30 days from your hire or rehire date.
I understand the cost of medical, dental and disability coverage noted above are 2014 rates and are subject to change. Notice of Special Enrollment Rights If you are waiving enrollment in the Intel Group Health Plan for yourself or your dependents (spouse and children) because of other health insurance coverage, you may in the future be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in the Intel Group Health Plan provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after your other coverage ends. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependent provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. Additionally, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in the Intel Group Health Plan under these additional two scenarios:
You or your dependent(s) Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) coverage is terminated as a result of loss of eligibility. You must request this special enrollment for you and your dependent(s) within 60 days of the loss of coverage for Medicaid or CHIP.
You or your dependent(s) become eligible for a premium assistance subsidy* under Medicaid or CHIP. You must request this special enrollment
within 60 days of when eligibility for the premium assistance subsidy is determined. * Note: States may elect to provide premium assistance subsidies to eligible, low-income children under a qualified employer-sponsored group health plan by reimbursing employees for the difference in cost between the state plan and the employer’s plan. The Health FSA, CIGNA HDHP, and Anthem Blue Cross HDHP are not considered a qualified employer sponsored group health plan.

California law requires that Intel provide and pay for medical treatment if you are injured at work. This medical care is provided by a Workers’ Compensation physician network called a Medical Provider Network (MPN). The following New Hire Notice describes your rights in choosing medical care for work-related injuries and illnesses. It is your responsibility to read and understand this information. You may download this document for your reference. Please note that you may pre-designate your personal physician for work injuries as long as you do so before sustaining an injury. The criteria for pre-designating your physician are: • You have previously received care with the physician, • Your physician is an M.D. or D.O., and • Your physician agrees to be your primary treating physician in the event of an injury. If the criteria are not met, medical care will be provided through the MPN. More information about how to pre-designate is included in the New Hire Notice below which includes a form to complete to pre-designate a physician. If you chose this option, return the completed form to your local Occupational Health Office.
For more information or to report a work-related injury, go to the Health and Wellness Programs intranet site. To access the Health and Wellness Programs intranet site from Circuit, select the My Life and Career tab, and under the My Health section select the Health and Wellness Programs link, then select the Report a Workplace Illness or Injury link.
You may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits if you are injured or become ill because of your job. Workers' compensation covers most work-related physical or mental injuries and illnesses. An injury or illness can be caused by one event (such as hurting your back in a fall) or by repeated exposures such as hurting your wrist from doing the same motion over and over). Generally, independent contractors, and volunteers who receive no compensation are not covered by workers’ compensation benefits.
Benefits:
Workers' compensation benefits include: Medical care, temporary disability, permanent disability, supplemental job displacement voucher, and death benefits
Medical Care:
You are entitled to medical care that is reasonably required to cure or relieve you from the effects of your work-related injury. Medical care may include doctor visits, hospital services, physical therapy, lab tests, x-rays, and medicines that are reasonably necessary to treat your injury. Providers should never bill you directly for work-related injuries. There is a limit on some medical services. Your employer is required to provide you with a claim form within one business day of learning about your injury. It is extremely important that you complete the “Employee” section of the claim form as your employer is required to authorize medical care within one working day after you file the form. If additional care is necessary after the initial treatment, the claims administrator will authorize any care that is appropriate for your injury, including the referral to specialists.
Your Primary Treating Physician (PTP):
This is the doctor with overall responsibility for treating your injury or illness. The primary treating physician determines what type of treatment you need and when you may return to work. A multispecialty medical group of licensed doctors and osteopathy can be designated as personal physicians. If your employer or your employer’s insurer does not have a Medical Provider Network, you may be able to change your treating physician to your personal chiropractor or acupuncturist following a work- related injury or illness by making a request to the claims administrator. Chiropractors may not continue as the primary treating physician after 24 visits. If specialists, diagnostics, etc. are needed in your case, this physician will be responsible for making the referrals. If you name your personal physician before your injury, you may see him or her for treatment in certain circumstances. Otherwise, your employer has the right to select the physician who will treat you for the first 30 days. You may be able to switch to a doctor of your choice after 30 days.
Special rules apply if your employer offers a Health Care Organization (HCO) or has a medical provider network. You should receive information from your employer if you are covered by an HCO or MPN. Contact your employer for more information.
Treatment by your personal physician:
You may be treated by your personal physician if you notify your employer prior to your injury. A personal physician includes a medical group of licensed doctors of medicine or osteopathy. Please have your physician complete the attached form and return to your employer. The following requirements must be met: 1. Your employer must offer group health coverage 2. Your personal physician must agree in advance to
treat you for any work injuries or illnesses 3. Your physician must be your regular physician and
surgeon. 4. Your physician has previously directed your medical
treatment and retains your records, including your medical history.
What happens if your employer disputes your
injury?
State law requires employers to authorize medical care within one working day of receiving a DWC 1 claim form. Your employer may be liable for as much as $10,000 in medical care until your claim is accepted or denied.
Medical Provider Networks:
Your employer may be using a MPN, which is a selected network of health care providers to provide treatment to workers injured on the job. If your employer is using a MPN, a MPN notice should be posted next to this poster to explain how to use the MPN. You can request a copy of this notice by calling the MPN number below. If you have predesignated your personal physician prior to your work injury, then you may receive treatment from your predesignated doctor. If you have not predesignated and your employer is using a MPN, you are free to choose an appropriate provider from the MPN list after the first medical visit directed by the employer.

What if my employer has a Medical Provider
Network?
Please see the attached Medical Provider Network Employee Notification.
What if my employer does not have a Medical
Provider Network?
If your employer does not have a Medical Provider Network, you may be able to change your treating physician to your personal chiropractor or acupuncturist following a work-related injury or illness within 30 days of reporting your injury. You may use the attached Notice of Personal Chiropractor or Personal Acupuncturist form to notify your employer of this change.
Emergency Medical Care:
If you need emergency care, call 911 for help immediately from the hospital, ambulance, fire department or police department.
First Aid:
If you need first aid treatment, contact your employer. If you have more than a simple first aid injury, you will need to ask your employer for a claim form.
Temporary Disability (TD) Benefits:
You may be entitled to payments if you lose wages while recovering. Your temporary disability rate is calculated by multiplying your average weekly wage by two thirds. The first 3 days of disability are not payable under California law unless there is hospitalization at the time of injury or the disability exceeds 14 days. If your physician returns you to work on a modified basis, you may be entitled to wage loss. This is generally calculated by multiplying the difference between your average weekly wage and your earnings during modified duties times two thirds. This is subject to the benefit minimums and maximums set by the California Legislature. Temporary disability benefits are payable within 14 days of the date of injury or knowledge of the injury. Subsequent payments are due every 14 days. For injuries occurring on or after 1/1/08, no more than 104 weeks of temporary disability are payable within 5 years from the date of injury. For longer term conditions (hepatitis B &C, amputations, severe burns, HIV, high velocity eye injuries, chemical burns to the eyes, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic lung disease) no more than 240 weeks within five years from the date of injury are payable. You may be eligible for state disability benefits from the Employment Development Department (EDD) if TD benefits are stopped, delayed, or denied. There are time limits so contact EDD for more information.
Permanent Disability (PD) Benefits:
You may be entitled to payments if your physician says your injury has limited your ability to work. The permanent disability rate is calculated by multiplying your average weekly wage by two thirds, subject to statutory minimums and maximums. The amount of permanent disability or impairment may depend on your doctor’s opinion, as well as your age, occupation type of injury and date of injury. If you have permanent disability or your claims examiner suspects you have permanent disability, a letter will be sent to you explaining your benefits, including the estimate or total value of permanent disability, weekly payment amount, how the benefit was calculated, and all of your related rights under the California Labor Code, including your right to object to the report upon which the determination is being based. Permanent Disability benefits are payable within 14 days of the last payment of temporary disability benefits or after you physician indicates there is permanent disability. The benefit is payable every fourteen days.
Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit:
You may be entitled to a nontransferable voucher payable to a state approved school. To qualify, your injury must result in a permanent impairment and your employer is unable to offer modified or alternative work within 60 days of receipt of a report asserting that all medical conditions have reached maximum medical improvement. If your employer does not offer a modified or alternate job within 60 days of determination of maximum medical improvement, you may chose to receive a nontransferable voucher to use at a state accredited school for education-related retraining or skill replacement. If you qualify for the supplemental job displacement benefit, your claims examiner will provide a voucher for up to $6,000.00.
Return to Work Fund
If your injury results in permanent impairment and it is determined that the amount awarded is disproportionately low in comparison to your loss of earnings, you may be entitled to additional compensation. A fund was established to supplement permanent impairment benefits under specific circumstances. This fund is administered by the Division of Workers Compensation. Your examiner can assist in directing you to the correct resource to determine eligibility.
Death Benefits:
Death benefits are paid to dependents of a worker who dies from a work-related injury or illness. The benefit is calculated and paid in the same manner as temporary disability. This benefit is paid at a minimum rate of $224 per week. The death benefit rates are set by state law and the amount depends upon the number of dependents. If dependent minor children are involved, death benefits are payable at least until the youngest child reaches majority age. Burial expenses are also provided under this benefit.

Es posible que usted tenga derecho a los beneficios de indemnización por accidentes laborales si se lesiona o enferma a causa de su trabajo. La indemnización por accidentes laborales cubre la mayoría de las lesiones físicas o mentales relativas al trabajo, así como las enfermedades laborales. Una lesión o una enfermedad puede ser provocada por un suceso (como lastimarse la espalda al caerse) o por repetidas exposiciones, como al lastimarse la muñeca por estar haciendo el mismo movimiento una y otra vez. Por lo general, los contratistas independientes y los voluntarios que no reciben una remuneración no tienen la cobertura de beneficios de indemnización por accidentes laborales.

Entre los beneficios de indemnización por accidentes laborales están: Atención médica, discapacidad temporal, discapacidad permanente, vale de beneficio suplementario por desplazamiento de trabajo y beneficios a causa de fallecimiento.

Usted tiene derecho a recibir la atención médica que razonablemente se requiera para curarle o aliviarle los efectos de su lesión laboral. La atención médica puede incluir las consultas al médico, servicios hospitalarios, terapia física, análisis de laboratorio, radiografías y medicamentos que sean razonablemente necesarios para dar tratamiento a su lesión. Los proveedores nunca deberán cobrarle a usted directamente cuando se trate de lesiones laborales. Existe cierto límite en cuanto a algunos servicios médicos. Su empleador tiene la obligación de darle un formulario de reclamación en un lapso de un día hábil a partir de que se entere de su lesión. Es sumamente importante que en el formulario de reclamación usted llene la sección “Empleado”, ya que a su empleador se le exige que autorice la atención médica en un lapso de un día hábil a partir de que usted presente el formulario. En caso de que sea necesaria atención adicional después del tratamiento inicial, el administrador de reclamaciones autorizará lo que sea apropiado para su lesión, inclusive, la derivación a especialistas.
Se trata del médico con la responsabilidad general de darle tratamiento a su lesión o enfermedad. Su médico primario de tratamiento determina qué tipo de tratamiento necesita y cuándo podrá regresar a su trabajo. Como médico personal se puede designar a un grupo con diversas especialidades de médicos y osteópatas con licencia. Si su empleador o la compañía aseguradora de su empleador no tienen una Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica, usted puede cambiar al médico que lo atienda por su quiropráctico o acupunturista después de una lesión o enfermedad laboral si presenta una solicitud al administrador de reclamaciones. Después de 24 consultas,
los quiroprácticos no pueden seguir siendo médicos primarios
de tratamiento. Si en su caso son necesarios especialistas, diagnósticos, etc., este médico será el responsable de hacer las derivaciones correspondientes. Si usted designa a su médico particular antes de que ocurra la lesión, en algunas circunstancias podrá consultarlo para obtener tratamiento. De lo contrario, su empleador tiene derecho a elegir al médico que le dará tratamiento durante los primeros 30 días. Después de 30 días usted podrá cambiar e ir con el médico de su preferencia. Aplican reglas especiales si su empleador le ofrece una Organización de Atención Médica (HCO) o si cuenta con una Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica (MPN). Usted deberá recibir información por parte de su empleador si cuenta con cobertura de una HCO o una MPN. Para más información, consulte a su empleador.
Su médico particular puede darle tratamiento si usted se lo notifica a su empleador antes de que ocurra una lesión. El médico particular también puede ser un grupo de médicos u osteópatas con licencia. Por favor pídale a su médico que llene el formulario adjunto y que se lo devuelva a su empleador. Se deben cumplir los siguientes requisitos:
1. Su empleador debe ofrecer seguro médico colectivo.
2. Su médico particular debe estar de acuerdo previamente en darle tratamiento por lesiones o enfermedades laborales.
3. Su médico debe ser su médico de cabecera y cirujano.
4. Su médico previamente se ha encargado de su tratamiento y conserva sus registros, inclusive su historial médico.
La ley estatal exige que su empleador autorice atención médica en un lapso de un día a partir de que reciba el formulario de reclamación DWC 1. Su empleador puede ser responsable de hasta $10,000 en atención médica hasta que la reclamación sea aceptada o rechazada.
Puede ser que su empleador utilice una MPN, la cual es una red seleccionada de proveedores de atención médica que se encargan de dar tratamiento a los trabajadores que se lesionan o enferman en el trabajo. Si su empleador cuenta con una Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica, junto a este cartel deberá exhibir un aviso en el que se explique cómo se hace uso de dicha red. Usted puede solicitar una copia de este aviso si llama al número de la Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica que aparece más abajo. Si usted ha designado previamente a su médico particular antes de que ocurra una lesión laboral, entonces puede recibir tratamiento con dicho médico. Si no lo ha designado previamente y su empleador cuenta con una Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica, usted estará en libertad de elegir de la MPN al proveedor adecuado
después de la primera consulta médica que su empleador haya indicado. Si para una lesión actual usted recibe tratamiento de un médico que no pertenezca a la Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica, es posible que se requiera que cambie de médico a alguno que sí forme parte de la red. Para más información consulte la información de contacto de la Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica a continuación:
Si su empleador no tiene una Red de Proveedores de Atención Médica, usted puede cambiar al médico que lo atienda por su quiropráctico o acupunturista después de una lesión o enfermedad laboral en un lapso de 30 días a partir de que reporte la lesión. Puede usar el formulario anexo de Notificación al Quiropráctico o Acupunturista Personal para notificar a su empleador sobre este cambio.
Si necesita atención médica de emergencia, llame inmediatamente al 911 para recibir ayuda del hospital, ambulancia, departamento de bomberos o de la policía.

Si necesita primeros auxilios, avise a su empleador. Si tiene más que una lesión simple que requiera primeros auxilios, necesitará pedir a su empleador un formulario de reclamación.
Es posible que usted tenga derecho a pagos si pierde su salario mientras se recupera. La tarifa por discapacidad temporal se calcula multiplicando su salario semanal promedio por dos tercios. Según la ley de California, los 3 primeros días de incapacidad no se pagan, a menos que haya hospitalización al momento de la lesión o que la incapacidad sea por más de 14 días. Si su médico lo regresa a trabajar con modificaciones, es posible que tenga derecho a pérdida de salario. Generalmente esto se calcula al multiplicar por dos tercios la diferencia entre su salario semanal promedio y sus ingresos durante el tiempo que desempeñe el trabajo modificado. Esto está sujeto al mínimo y máximo de beneficios estipulados por la Legislatura de California. Los beneficios por discapacidad temporal son pagaderos dentro de los 14 días después de la fecha de la lesión o de que se sepa de la lesión. Los pagos posteriores son cada 14 días. Las lesiones que hayan ocurrido el 1 de enero de 2008 o después, sin exceder 104 semanas de discapacidad temporal, son pagaderas en un lapso de 5 años a partir de la fecha de la lesión. Las afecciones a más largo plazo (como hepatitis B y C, amputaciones, quemaduras graves, VIH, lesiones oculares por alta velocidad, quemaduras en los ojos por sustancias químicas, fibrosis pulmonar y enfermedades crónicas de los pulmones) son pagaderas no más de 240 semanas en un lapso de cinco años a partir de la fecha de la lesión. Es posible que usted reúna los requisitos para recibir beneficios estatales por incapacidad por parte del Departamento de Desarrollo del Empleo (EDD) si los beneficios por discapacidad temporal se suspenden, se demoran o se niegan. Existen límites de tiempo, por lo tanto, para más información comuníquese al EDD.
Usted puede tener derecho a recibir pagos si su médico determina que su lesión ha limitado su capacidad para trabajar. La tarifa por discapacidad permanente se calcula al multiplicar su salario semanal promedio por dos tercios y está sujeta al mínimo y máximo establecidos por la ley. La cantidad por discapacidad o impedimento permanente puede depender de la opinión de su médico, así como de su edad, tipo de lesión según su ocupación y la fecha de la lesión. Si usted tiene una discapacidad permanente o su evaluador de reclamaciones sospecha que la tenga, se le enviará una carta en la que le expliquen sus beneficios, incluirá el cálculo o el valor total de la discapacidad permanente, la cantidad de pago semanal, cómo se calcula el beneficio y todos sus derechos respectivos conforme al Código del Trabajo de California, e inclusive su derecho a objetar el informe sobre el cual se basa la resolución. Los beneficios por discapacidad permanente son pagaderos en un lapso de 14 días a partir del último pago de beneficios por discapacidad temporal o después de que su médico haya indicado que existe una discapacidad permanente. El beneficio es pagadero cada 14 días.
Beneficio suplementario por desplazamiento de
trabajo:
Usted puede tener derecho a un vale no transferible pagadero a una escuela estatal aprobada. Para cumplir con los requisitos, su lesión debe causarle una incapacidad, y además no ser posible que su empleador le ofrezca un trabajo modificado o alternativo en un lapso de 60 días a partir de que reciba el reporte que indique que todas las afecciones han
llegado al máximo de la mejoría médica. Si su empleador no le ofrece un empleo modificado o alternativo en un lapso de 60 días a partir de que se determine la máxima mejoría médica, usted puede optar por recibir un vale no transferible para que lo utilice en una escuela acreditada por el estado para que tome cursos de readiestramiento o de reemplazo de destrezas. Si reúne los requisitos para el beneficio suplementario por desplazamiento de trabajo, su evaluador de reclamaciones le dará un vale de hasta $6,000.00.
Fondo para el regreso al trabajo
Si su lesión da como resultado una incapacidad permanente y se determina que la cantidad otorgada es desproporcionadamente baja en comparación con su pérdida de ingresos, puede tener derecho a una indemnización adicional. Se ha establecido un fondo para complementar los beneficios por discapacidad permanente en circunstancias específicas. Ese fondo está administrado por la División de Indemnización por Accidentes Laborales. Su evaluador puede ayudarle para que se dirija al recurso correcto para determinar su elegibilidad.

Los beneficios por fallecimiento se pagan a los dependientes de un trabajador que muera a consecuencia de una lesión o enfermedad laboral. Este beneficio se calcula y paga de la misma manera que la discapacidad temporal. Se paga a una tarifa mínima de $224 a la semana. Las tarifas del beneficio por fallecimiento son estipuladas por las leyes estatales y el monto será según el número de dependientes. Si hay niños menores dependientes, los beneficios por fallecimiento son pagaderos por lo menos hasta que el hijo o la hija menor lleguen a la mayoría de edad. Con este beneficio se cubren también los gastos funerarios.
