My employer hasn’t or won’t fill out a work injury report. What can I do?
Contact the Industrial Commission immediately to report this activity and to request a First Report of Injury form. Completely filling out and filing the First Report of Injury with the Commission will register your claim. See also, Rehabilitation Services for Injured Workers
How do I find out if my employer has workers’ compensation insurance?
Contact the Industrial Commission Compliance Department at (208)334-6000 or toll free at (800) 950-2110. Or, you can use our Employers’ Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage Verification system online.
I have an employee who will be working out of the state for a while. Will he still be covered under our Idaho workers’ compensation insurance?
If the employee is hired in Idaho to work in Idaho and is on a temporary work assignment in another state, the employee’s coverage would be through the employer’s Idaho Workers’ Compensation insurance. Regarding longer term out of state assignments, if the employer has current coverage in Idaho and their employee(s) will be working in OR, WA, MT, WY, UT, NV and ND, we can process an extraterritorial certificate for them. Otherwise the employer will have to purchase workers’ compensation insurance in the state their employee(s) will be working.
