Policy

The Company provides workers' compensation insurance to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses resulting from their jobs. Worker's compensation provides six basic benefits: medical care, temporary disability compensation, permanent disability compensation, supplemental job displacement compensation, and death insurance. Worker's compensation benefits are determined by applicable law, and employees are required to report work-related injuries and illnesses immediately when they occur.

Procedure

Any work-related accident, injury, or illness involving an employee, even one that is not serious, should be immediately reported to the Manager, Supervisor, General Manager, or Human Resource Manager. The company requires employees who experience an accident, illness, or injury on the job to fulfill reporting, recording, and investigation requirements by completing appropriate forms.

Whenever an employee is on leave due to a work-related injury, illness, or accident, the company's leave policy will take effect. Whenever possible, the company strives to return injured or ill employees to work. Consequently, while on a leave of absence, employees should stay in touch with their General Manager regarding their anticipated return to work.

Upon request, the company will provide reasonable accommodations for any known physical or mental disability of a qualified individual, provided the requested accommodation doesn't create an undue hardship for the company or pose an immediate danger to others' safety or health at work. A company that is aware that an employee needs an accommodation will engage in an interactive process with the employee to identify possible accommodations.
