Employer deposits for fatal workplace accidents can be increased after notice if initially insufficient by the competent authority. Where an employer's deposited compensation for a death is deemed insufficient, the competent authority may issue a written notice stating reasons and a time to show cause why a further deposit should not be made; if the employer fails to satisfy the authority, the authority may make an award fixing the total amount payable and require the employer to deposit the deficiency.
