Workers’ Compensation - Employee Reporting Procedures

The following procedures have been established to assist you in the event of a work related injury or illness.  If you have any questions, ask your supervisor or visit Rock Hill Schools’ Workers’ Compensation website at www.rock-hill.k12.sc.us for more information.

•	Report your injury/accident immediately to your supervisor and the school district’s designated representative, listed below and located in the Insurance and Benefits Department.
•	If you need to seek medical treatment and it is an injury covered by workers’ compensation, the designated representative will submit authorization for medical treatment.

Note:  Workers’ Compensation law states that you must get medical treatment from a doctor designated by your employer or you may forfeit workers’ compensation benefits.

•	If the injury occurs after hours and medical treatment is needed, contact your supervisor, and go to Riverview Occumed for treatment.  Contact the designated representative the next business day to report the injury/accident.
•	Complete the Incident Report and Medical Information Release Authorization Form whether you need to seek medical treatment or not.  Submit the forms to your supervisor and designated representative as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after the injury/accident or the next business day.
•	Notify your supervisor and the designated representative of any follow-up medical appointments relating to the injury/accident.
•	If you work for Kelly Services, Southwest Foodservice Excellence (SFE), or Budd Group, please contact the company in which you work for to report the injury. 
•	If you are not a district employee your supervisor will fill out the Student/Visitor/Volunteer Accident Report online.
•	If you are given a prescription you may come by the District office to pick up a prescription card from the designated representative, located in the Insurance and Benefits Department, or request it to be sent through the “Pony” to the school.
