PAP.9.7.130 Reporting Requirements

(a) Team members on worker's compensation leave are required to keep their Director/Manager and the Human Resource Department informed of their progress while on worker's compensation benefits.

(b) Copies of all Reports of Workability from doctors or treating personnel must be turned into the Human Resource Department as soon as reasonably possible after the report has been completed.

(c) Team members who violate safety rules which result in accidents, injuries or illnesses to others or themselves, or who fail to report accidents in a timely manner will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with Subchapter PAP.9.12 of this policy. Submitting a false illness or injury report will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, regardless of the date of discovery. Failure to report work related injuries in a timely manner, may also negatively impact the team member's ability to receive workers' compensation benefits.

(d) If a team member is not working due to a job related injury or illness for which he/she is receiving workers' compensation benefits, the time away from the job will be counted, up to twelve (12) weeks, as time allowable under Section PAP.9.7.100 of this manual, if it qualifies as a "serious health condition." Director/Managers shall work with the Human Resource Department to establish a plan to return the team member back to work, even if it is light duty.
