The Tribe, for the employees of the Redwood Casino (the “casino”), has exercised its right under Section 12.5 of Tribal-State Gaming Compact between the Yurok Tribe and the state of California, as amended, to opt out of the state statutory workers’ compensation system and to create and maintain a system that provides redress for the casino employees’ work-related injuries by obtaining insurance or through self-insurance. The purpose of this chapter is to establish a systematic and uniform procedure for the administration of workers’ compensation benefits to casino employees. [Ord. 47 § 1003, adopted, 11/10/2016.]
