The Worker's Compensation Act serves as the foundation for the worker's compensation
system. The Act is instrumental to maintaining an effective and
efficient system. The Wisconsin Worker's Compensation Act is unique
in that amendments are formulated through a collaborative process that
involves the primary stakeholders of the system - labor, management,
insurers, medical providers, legislators and staff. This process
yields an Act that provides a stable and widely supported worker's
compensation system.
