WORKERS’ COMPENSATION REPORTING
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
INJURED EMPLOYEE:
Step 1: The employee is required to report any injury sustained during working hours or while on authorized St. Louis Public
Schools business to his/her immediate supervisor on the day the injury occurs and within 24 hours of the occurrence of
the accident/injury.
Step 2: The employee must complete the form WC1-2, St. Louis Public Schools Employee/Supervisor Injury Report, and submit
the form to the supervisor for signature. If medical treatment is required, the employee must obtain the supervisor’s
signature for authorization of medical treatment. The employee must make a copy of the report for the site
records and then take the original WC1-2 with him/her to the authorized medical provider Concentra. See
attached list of MEDICAL CENTER LOCATIONS.
Step 3: Immediately following the visit to an authorized doctor, the employee must provide his/her supervisor with the Work
Status Report from Concentra, either in person or by fax. The report should indicate that the employee was evaluated,
and a determination was made to either return to work for Regular Duty, return to work for Limited Duty with
Restrictions, or Unable to Work.
Step 4: Any medical charges incurred anywhere other than Concentra will not be covered under Workers’
Compensation and should be submitted to your group medical insurance carrier. The only exception to this rule
shall be the rare occasion when injury requires emergency treatment as deemed necessary in the best judgment
of the supervisor at the site of the injury.
PRINCIPAL/SUPERVISOR: DO NOT DELEGATE THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHERS
Step 1: Provide the injured employee with an Employee/Supervisor Injury Report/Medical Treatment Authorization Form
(WC1-2). The employee will complete the majority of page (1) and all of page (2) of the forms, which is his/her account
of the accident/injury.
Step 2: Principal/supervisor will authorize treatment by signing the bottom of page 1, which authorizes the employee to obtain
medical treatment at a Concentra Medical Center. Additionally, the Supervisor shall complete and sign page 3 of the
form, which is the supervisor’s account of the accident/injury. The supervisor is not required to have firsthand
knowledge of the incident. When the Supervisor does not have firsthand knowledge, the report shall indicate what was
“alleged” to have happened.
Step 3:
Scan Immediately to Human Resources at [email protected]rg OR Fax the completed WC1-2 immediately to Alysia Palm at (314) 244-1739
Step 4: Retain a copy of the WC1-2 in a separate workers’ compensation file at the respective location.
Step 5: Code absences accordingly.
HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION:
Step 1: When the Doctor’s Visit Summary Report indicates Unable to Work, the Human Resources Division will place the
employee on “Inactive Service – Workers Compensation Without Pay” until the employee is released for duty. The
first three (3) regularly scheduled workdays following the last day worked are not payable under the Missouri
Workers’ Compensation law, unless the employee will be absent more than 14 consecutive days, at which time
the first three days will be payable under workers’ compensation.
Step 2: The Human Resources Division will maintain the inactive service status until receipt of the physician’s statement
indicating that the employee is released for regular duty or limited duty with restrictions.
Step 3: For any Doctor’s Summary Report indicating “Limited Duty with Restrictions”, Human Resources Division will work
with the appropriate site administrator to evaluate limited duty opportunities and determine the appropriate course of
action. Each report will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
