WORKERS' COMPENSATION <br /> All active employees at the City of Batesville on the City's payroll are covered by <br /> Workers' Compensation, as required by Arkansas State law. The reporting <br /> requirements and benefit levels are regulated by the State's Workers' <br /> Compensation Board. All Workers' Compensation claims will be handled in <br /> accordance with Workers' Compensation regulations. Workers' Compensation <br /> coverage for employees working through a temporary agency will be provided by <br /> the agency for which they work. <br /> Workers' Compensation Insurance is paid for entirely by the City of Batesville, <br /> and provides benefits for employees who suffer illness or personal injury arising <br /> out of their employment with the City of Batesville. Coverage begins the first day <br /> of employment; there is no waiting period. Covered injuries and illnesses may be <br /> physical or mental, and specific or cumulative. To assure that the employee <br /> does not lose income for the day of the accident/illness, the City will pay the <br /> employee for the remaining part of the day or shift in which the accident/illness <br /> occurred if not covered by Workers' Compensation. <br /> 19 <br />
