As required by applicable federal and/or state laws, Centerspace will provide a workers’ compensation insurance program. This program covers any injury or illness sustained in the course of employment that requires medical, surgical, or hospital treatment. Subject to applicable legal requirements, workers’ compensation insurance may provide benefits after a short waiting period or, if the team member is hospitalized, immediately.
Team members who sustain work-related injuries or illnesses must inform their manager immediately. The manager then needs to submit a Workers Compensation ticket on the Support Center immediately so that a report can be filed within 24 hours. No matter how minor an on-the-job injury may appear, it is important that it be reported immediately to enable an eligible team member to qualify for coverage as quickly as possible.
