Workers' Compensation

About Workers' Compensation

The Austin Stone values the health and safety of our employees, and we are committed to providing fair and timely compensation and medical coverage in the event of a workplace injury or illness. As such, we have established a workers' compensation policy.

We are committed to providing fair and timely compensation and medical coverage to any employee who is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work, and we will do everything we can to support them during this time.

Our Workers' Compensation Policy

Under this policy, any employee who is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work is eligible to receive workers' compensation. This includes injuries sustained on the job, as well as illnesses that are caused or made worse by the employee's work environment.

To receive workers' compensation, the employee must report their injury or illness to their supervisor as soon as possible and complete the necessary forms. The employee must also provide any medical documentation that is required to support their claim.

Once the claim is submitted, the company (Hanover) will review the information and make a determination as to the employee's eligibility for workers' compensation. If the claim is approved, the employee will receive medical insurance coverage and any lost wages as a result of their injury or illness.

The Austin Stone's workers' compensation uses the Coventry Workers' Comp Network of doctors to provide covered treatment.

What do you do when you experience a life threatening injury at work?

• Go to the nearest emergency room!  If you are injured at work after normal business hours or while working outside your service area, you should go to the nearest care facility.  
• Tell your supervisor and HR as soon as you can.

What do you do when you experience a non-life threatening injury at work?

• Tell your supervisor and HR as soon as you can.
• Choose a treating doctor from the Coventry network service area where you live.  A list of Coventry doctors is posted here: Find an In-Network Coventry Provider.
• You must obtain all treatment and referrals for your injury from your treating doctor.
• Your treating doctor will be paid by your workers' compensation insurer and will not bill you for treatment.
• If you receive treatment for your injury from providers who are not in the Coventry network, you may have to pay for that care.
