All employees, including student workers, are reminded to immediately report to their supervisor all injuries incurred while working at Hamilton, regardless of severity. Supervisors should contact Carol Bennett in Personnel Services within 24 hours of receiving a report from an employee so all details can be accurately recorded. It is important to document the injuries immediately after they occur to protect an employee's rights under workers' compensation and in the event a minor injury develops into something more serious in the future.
Hamilton College is self-insured for workers' compensation and manages claims in-house up to a certain point. Thereafter, claims are managed by First Cardinal Corporation in Albany. Please contact Carol Bennett in Personnel Services if you have any questions about the accident reporting process.
