Employees shall report as soon as possible to their supervisor any accident or illness claimed to have resulted from work.

A work related injury, illness or death of an employee shall be reported by the employee’s immediate supervisor to the business office within twenty-four (24) hours of the time when the supervisor learns the facts giving rise to the potential claim on forms provided by the District. If at all possible, the affected employee should supply the pertinent information to the business office.
