how soon must an employee file the first report of injury
To properly handle injuries you should require job-related injuries to be reported to you as soon as possible. The law requires an employee to report a single event injury within 30 days or for medical treatment to be obtained within the 30-day period. In cases of occupational disease or injuries caused by repeated trauma, an employee must give notice to the employer within 90 days of the employeeâs separation from employment.
