Prompt reporting of all workplace injuries and illnesses is very important! An employee who is at work when he/she becomes aware of an injury or illness must report it to his/her supervisor as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than leaving the workplace or eight (8) hours after becoming aware of the injury or illness (whichever is earlier). An employee who is not at work when he/she becomes aware of an injury or illness must report it as soon as reasonably possible by calling his/her supervisor and explaining that he/she is reporting a work-related injury or illness.
For further information, refer to your Employee Handbook or ask your supervisor.
