Which action requires notice within 10 days to the employee or attorney?

The main idea is that when an action affects a claimant’s workers’ compensation rights in Rhode Island, timely notice must be given to the person who will be impacted—the employee or the employee’s attorney—within 10 days. This ensures the claimant can understand what happened, respond or object, and preserve rights to appeal or request a hearing. The notice is directed to the party actually affected by the action, not to the employer, unions, or a state department. Providing notice within 10 days helps protect due process and keeps the claims process moving smoothly.
