Job DescriptionAbramson Labor Group, an applicant-side California workers’ compensation firm, is hiring a Hearing Representative to own our settlement and OSA (Order Suspending Action) hearing calendar before the WCAB. This is a hearing-facing role: you prepare each matter, appear virtually at every settlement hearing, keep the file and the client updated on both sides of the appearance, and resolve Orders Suspending Action from start to finish. We’re looking for someone with real hearing experience who thrives on organization, juggling volume, and hitting weekly targets.
What You’ll Do
Prepare and appear: Complete hearing preparation for the upcoming week and appear virtually at all settlement hearings — status conferences, mandatory settlement conferences, lien conferences, and OSA hearings.
Keep files current: Update each case file before and after every hearing so the record reflects what happened and what comes next.
Keep clients updated: Reach out to clients before and after hearings, and send required client communications on schedule.
Resolve OSAs completely: Take Orders Suspending Action from receipt to resolution — compile the file, cure signature/service/lien and adequacy defects, draft the necessary letters and declarations, and follow through until the matter is cleared.
Negotiate split fees: Handle fee negotiations on cases subbed out to or referred from other firms.
Communicate internally: Coordinate with attorneys and settlement staff, escalate approvals when needed, and keep everyone aligned on matter status.
Meet weekly metrics: Consistently hit weekly hearing-prep, OSA-queue, and client-communication targets.
What We’re Looking For
Hearing experience in California workers’ compensation — you’ve prepped and appeared at WCAB hearings and are comfortable on the record before a Workers’ Compensation Judge.
Solid working knowledge of workers’ compensation practice and WCAB procedure, including OSAs, the C&R/OACR process, and EAMS e-filing.
Highly organized and able to keep dozens of matters moving without dropping details.
A strong multitasker who works well under deadlines and shifting priorities.
Self-motivated and comfortable being held to weekly performance metrics.
Clear, professional communicator with clients, judges, and internal staff.
Bilingual English/Spanish is a significant plus given our client base.
Nice to Have
Familiarity with lien resolution, split/referral-fee arrangements, and MSA/Medicare set-aside basics.
Experience with case-management or workflow systems.
