Section III
Workers' Compensation Insurance

All employees are covered by Workers' Compensation Insurance. If an employee sustains an accidental injury or occupational disease while working, Workers' Compensation pays for medical expenses and, in some cases, for lost wages.

Employees must report any injuries sustained on the job to their supervisor immediately even if the injury does not appear serious. All accidents must be reported with 30 days of occurrence.
