Immediately following any injury, however minor, or immediately following emergency medical treatment, the employee shall report the injury to the employee’s supervisor and to Human Resources either by telephone or email and by electronic notification using the City’s Intranet reporting forms. The report to Human Resource shall be made no later than 24 hours following the occurrence of the injury. A claim is not deemed reported unless the employee notifies their supervisor and Human Resources. The employee is responsible to follow up with WCF and speak to a claims adjuster to assure that all details of the injury are reported. If an injury is so severe as to render the employee physically incapable of following the reporting process as required, the employee’s supervisor shall assure that the required reporting is completed. In all cases the ultimate responsibility for properly reporting a work related injury is that of the injured employee. Failure to properly and timely report an injury may result in the delay or denial of benefits, or in disciplinary action. The employee’s supervisor shall notify the Worker’s Compensation specialist in HR of the injury within 24 hours of the supervisor receiving notice of the injury.
