COVID-19 Information For Employees
What may employees do if they believe they got COVID-19 in the workplace?
Employees diagnosed with COVID-19, and who believe they contracted COVID-19 in the workplace during their employment, may complete the following steps to have their case reviewed through the Worker’s Compensation process:
- Make sure to communicate with their immediate supervisor their positive case so it is documented on the District COVID-19 Tracer
- Obtain a PCR test documenting a positive COVID-19 result and keep PCR test documentation for submission
*Employees may request reimbursement for the cost of the PCR test by submitting a Payment Request Voucher available
- Fill out the OAR (Occupational Accident Report) form
- Contact Company Nurse to report the claim and be referred for care if still experiencing symptoms
- File the Worker’s Compensation form -- “DWC Fillable Form”
After the claim form is received by the District Workers Compensation carrier it will be investigated. Sick leave will be restored to employees where the claim is approved.
