WORKERS' COMPENSATION

All employees are covered by Workers' Compensation Insurance. An employee injured on the job is entitled to financial and medical aid under the Workers' Compensation Insurance program in accordance with state law. All injuries must be promptly reported to the Director of Human Resources. If an employee sustains a job-related injury or illness, it is important to notify the supervisor and Human Resources immediately. The notice of injury must be done within three days of the incident. Failure to report an injury/accident will result in disciplinary procedures. Workers’ compensation benefits (paid or unpaid) will run concurrently with FMLA leave, if applicable, where permitted by state and federal law.
