Workers’ Compensation

Injured Employee Instructions

If you are injured on the job, it’s important to report the incident within 12 hours to your supervisor or Human Resources (HR). All injuries, no matter how minor, must be reported to ensure a timely claim submission to our Workers' Compensation insurance carrier. Failing to notify promptly may delay or deny your claim.

Steps to Follow After an Injury:

  1. Notify your Supervisor immediately after the injury occurs.
  2. Complete the following forms and submit them to HR as soon as possible:
  3. Submit the completed forms to Human Resources within 12 hours via:

Gettysburg College has a panel of approved healthcare providers for work-related injuries. You are required to see a provider from this panel for the first 90 days after your initial medical visit. After 90 days, you may continue with a provider from the panel or choose a different provider (subject to approval).

In case of an emergency, seek immediate treatment at the nearest emergency facility. Follow-up care can then be scheduled with a provider from our Workers' Compensation Panel.
