Workers' Compensation
All employees are covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance, which may compensate employees for lost time, medical expenses, and loss of life or dismemberment from an injury arising out of or in the course of work. If an employee is injured at work, they are required to report the incident to their supervisor. The report should be made as soon as possible, but no later than 24 business hours. An injured employee may need care beyond what can be provided at the worksite. If this is the case, the employee should visit one of the approved Designated Occupational Health Care Providers listed below.
