Workers' Compensation Overview

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. An injured employee should proceed to one of the designated Occupational Health Clinics for treatment and must report any accident or injury immediately to his or her supervisor so that the necessary documentation may be completed.
