They will have instructions on how to contact the Risk Manager or alternate persons in State Administration. Reporting of accidents weeks or months after or when Risk Management receives a doctor or hospital emergency room bill and finds no accident report will be reviewed by the Department of Commerce and proper action for noncompliance will follow. In the event of lost time, it is important that Risk Management is made aware of time lost and what option the employee wishes to use to stay on the payroll. The Risk Manager will review options with each claimant. All forms are available in Risk Management.
