Tennessee Department of Labor – Employer’s First Report of Injury

Did you know that a report of all known work injuries or illnesses in Tennessee must be submitted to the employer’s insurance carriers within one (1) working day from the time the injury becomes known?  The form on which this information is submitted to the Tennessee Department of Labor, Division of Workers’ Compensation is called a Form C-20. 

What injuries must be reported?  Injuries which cause an employee to seek medical treatment in a place that is outside the employer’s premises, an employee’s death, permanent impairment or absence from work.
