              In order to protect your claim for compensation and/or minimize Jack & Jill Children’s Center
              and  its  team  members'  liability,  all  injuries  or  accidents  occurring  during  employment,  no
              matter how minor, must be reported to the Director of Finance immediately.

              All team members are covered by Workers Compensation Insurance and must seek treatment
              for accidents and injuries as required by the plan.  Team members will be required to provide
              information regarding the accident or injury to their immediate supervisor immediately in order
              to determine next steps.

              Team members who are placed on Workers Compensation will be notified verbally of the status
              of the position, status of health insurance benefits, and their responsibilities while on Workers
              Compensation.

              Accidents or injuries involving children must be reported immediately to the Early Childhood
              Program Director. Team members will be required to complete accident/incident reports for
              these incidents.  Team members will be advised by the Early Childhood Program Director to
              call  the  child’s  parents  to  apprise  them  of  the  incident/accident  as  necessary.    A  parent  is
              required to sign the accident/injury report when picking up their child from the Center. A copy
              of the signed accident/injury report will be given to the child’s parent and a copy should be
              given to the Early Childhood Program Director.  These documents will become a part of the
              child's record.

              In case of critical incidents such as serious client accident, injury or death, Jack & Jill Children’s
              Center shall advise the appropriate agency(cies), in writing. The Center shall offer available
              pertinent client information, to the respective agency(cies), upon request and/or receipt of such
              information.

              Accidents involving parents or visitors must be reported immediately to  the Chief Financial
              Officer. Team members will be required to complete accident/injury reports for these incidents.
              The accident/injury report should be given to the Chief Finance Officer. These documents will
              become part of the Center’s record.

              Any team member who fails to appropriately report, or files a false accident/injury report will
              be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
