The Missouri Employees Affidavit and Waiver of Workers Compensation Benefits is a legal document that is used when an employee agrees to waive their rights to receive benefits under the Missouri Workers' Compensation Act. This document must be signed by both the employee and the employer in order for the waiver to be valid. There are two types of Missouri Employees Affidavit and Waiver of Workers Compensation Benefits: the Voluntary Waiver and the Involuntary Waiver. The Voluntary Waiver is signed by an employee who wishes to voluntarily waive their rights to receive benefits under the Missouri Workers' Compensation Act. This waiver must be signed before the employee begins working for the employer and must be updated annually. The Involuntary Waiver is signed by an employee who has been injured on the job and wishes to waive their rights to receive benefits under the Missouri Workers' Compensation Act. This waiver must be signed within the first 30 days of the employee's injury and must be updated annually. Both types of waivers must be signed under oath and notarized in order to be valid. The employee must also provide a written statement that they fully understand the consequences of waiving their rights to receive benefits under the Missouri Workers’ Compensation Act.
