Who fills out the CA 17 form?

After the initial 45 days, payments decrease to two-thirds of the regular wage amount (three-quarters if the employee has dependents). Compensation continues at this rate for an indefinite length of time based on the extent of the injury and what continued supporting documents the worker can provide.
