Arizona rules for this report
These rules are about how and when you report, not the template's fields. Check them before you deliver.
- Every employer under the Act files with the Industrial Commission and its insurance carrier a full and complete report of every known work injury that results in death or requires medical treatment, in the form and detail the Commission prescribes; medical treatment does not include one-time, short-term treatment by nonmedical staff, such as care for minor scratches, cuts, burns and splintersA.R.S. 23-908 (A)
- Within ten days after receiving notice of an accident, the employer informs its insurance carrier and the Commission on the Commission's formsA.R.S. 23-908 (G)
- Immediately on notice of an accident that injures an employee, the employer gives the employee the name and address of its insurance carrier, the policy number and the expiration dateA.R.S. 23-908 (H)
- The injured employee reports the accident and the injury to the employer forthwith, and the employee's own physician reports to the employer, the carrier and the Commission; the employer may designate in writing a physician for one examination; if the accident is not reported forthwith, or the employee joins in refusing the examination, no compensation is paid unless the Commission excuses the failureA.R.S. 23-908 (E), (F)
- Anyone failing or refusing to comply with these reporting duties is guilty of a petty offenseA.R.S. 23-908 (J)
- A compensation claim is valid only if filed with the Commission in writing within one year after the injury becomes manifest or the claimant should know of it, unless the employer or carrier has started paying compensation; when the Commission is notified of an injury, it sends the employee a claim formA.R.S. 23-1061 (A), (B), (C)
- Every employer keeps posted in a conspicuous place on its premises, in English and Spanish, the statutory notice that employees are deemed to accept the compensation law unless they reject it in writing before any injury, with the rejection forms available where employees are hired; without the notice or the forms, employees hired in that period may sue insteadA.R.S. 23-906 (D), (E)
