If you are injured on the job, you must report your injury to your supervisor and Human Resources on the day of injury (if possible) and complete the First Report of Injury form within 24 hours of your workplace injury.
Worker's Compensation Insurance:
If you experience an on-the-job injury or occupational disease and the claim is determined eligible under Worker’s Compensation, any medical expenses you incur related to the injury/illness will be paid/reimbursed by Worker’s Compensation insurance.
If you miss three or more days of work due to a work-related injury or occupational disease and the claim is determined eligible under Worker's Compensation, you will be eligible for partial wage loss benefits.
Recording of Lost Time:
A non-exempt (hourly) employee injured on the job and unable to complete their remaining regularly scheduled hours will receive their normal pay rate for hours not worked through the remainder of that shift. The supervisor should write “Work Comp” on the employee’s timesheet for lost time while the workers compensation provider determines the eligibility of the claim.
