Employee On The Job Injury

You are protected by workers' compensation insurance under Oregon law.   This insurance covers you in case of occupational injury or illness by providing, among other things, medical care and compensation and temporary or other disability benefits.  Employees are expected to work safely and in a safe environment.

Steps to Take if You Are Injured on the Job
To ensure you receive any workers' compensation benefits to which you may be entitled, you must to all of the following:

• Immediately report any work-related injury to your supervisor.  You must report the injury at the time it happens, and no later than 24 hours after the injury;
• Seek medical treatment and follow-up care if required; and
• Promptly complete a written Employee's Claim Form (Form 801) and return it to the City Manager's office.

Failure to timely follow these steps may negatively affect your ability to receive benefits.
