Welcome to Nashville Local 5's OWCP page. All employees need to use this link, https://www.ecomp.dol.gov/#/ and create your profile on Ecomp if you have not done so previously. This allows you access to your dashboard where you can keep up with your case and Workmans Comp will use this to communicate with you about anything they need for your case there first and now they only send letters to your address as a last attempt.

We will be posting updates here frequently especially as management tries to change how and when they do what they are Legally required to do.

Updated 7-7-2025. Currently management is avoiding following the below 10.211 code governing what they are required to do with the link to it.
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-20/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-10/subpart-C

§ 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 § 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.

We have attached a National Grievance settlement that pertains to non workmans comp limited/light duty. Even though it pertains to Light duty which is any and all non workmans comp cases it is here so everyone can read and share with co-workers.
