Workers’ Compensation

When do I need to give an employee a claim form? If an employee reports an injury or illness that occurred while working, they should be provided a claim form (DWC-1) within 24 hours of the employer’s notice.
-
Do I have to offer an injured employee modified duty? If an injured employee is provided work restrictions, the employer must make a good faith effort to confirm whether or not work can be provided that conforms to the restrictions. A good faith effort should include documentation of whether the employee’s job at the time of injury can be modified, and also what other positions are available, if any exist, that the employee can perform. Additionally, a meeting should take place that allows the employee to interact with their employer so they can voice any concerns they have, and to allow them to provide input on issues including additional skills they have that may qualify them for other positions, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.

What do I do if I suspect fraudulent activity? If you suspect an employee’s injury did not occur at work or that they are performing inappropriate activity while temporarily disabled, you should notify your assigned claims examiner at Sedgwick.
