Workers' Compensation
All injured workers must contact their supervisor/employer immediately to notify them of any on-the-job injury. Timely reporting of employee injuries is crucial. All incidents must be reported to the Office of Legal and Compliance in a timely manner. Once the incident is reported, the Insurance Compliance Manager will contact you.
