EMPLOYER'S FIRST REPORT OF INJURY OR DISEASE

Fatal Injuries: Employers subject to ch.102, Wis. Stats., must report injuries resulting in death to the Department and to their insurance carrier, if insured, within one day after the death of the employee. Non-Fatal Injuries: If the injury or occupational illness results in disability beyond the three-day waiting period, the employer, if insured, must notify its insurance carrier within 7 days after the injury or beginning of disability. Medical-only claims are to be reported to the insurance carrier only, not the Department. Electronic Reporting Requirement: All work-related injuries and illnesses resulting in compensable lost time, with the exception of fatalities, must be reported electronically to the Department via EDI or Internet by the insurance carrier or self-insured employer within 14 days of the date of injury or beginning of disability. Employer may fax claims for fatal injuries to the Imaging Fax Server number on this form. Provision of your Social Security Number (SSN) is voluntary. Failure to provide it may result in an information processing delay. Personal information you provide may be used for secondary purposes [Privacy Law, s. 15.04 (1)(m), Wisconsin Statutes].

EMPLOYER AND INSURANCE CARRIER INSTRUCTIONS
The employer must complete all relevant sections on this form and submit it to the employer's worker's compensation insurance carrier or third party claim administrator within seven (7) days after the date of a work-related injury which causes permanent or temporary disability resulting in compensation for lost time. The employer's insurance carrier or the third-party claim's administrator may request that this form also be used to immediately report any injury requiring medical treatment, even though it does not involve lost work time. For any work injury resulting in a fatality, the employer must also submit this form directly to the Department of Workforce Development within 24 hours of the fatality. An employer exempt from the duty to insure under s. 102.28, Wis. Stats., and an insurance carrier administering claims for an insured employer are required to submit this form to the Department of Workforce Development within 14 days of the date of work injury.

MANDATORY INFORMATION In order to accurately administer claims, each of the following sections of this form must be completed. The First Report of Injury will be returned to the sender if the mandatory information is not provided. Employee Section: Provide all requested information to identify the injured employee. If an employee has multiple dates of employment, the "Date of Hire" is the date the employee was hired for the job on which he or she was injured. Employer Section: Provide all requested information to identify the injured worker's employer at the time of injury. Provide the name and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for the insurance carrier or selfinsured employer responsible for the worker's compensation expenses for this injury.

Wage Information Section: Provide the information requested regarding the injured employee's wage and hours worked for the job being performed at the time of injury.
