Workers’ Compensation Procedures

All work-related accidents, injury or non-injury, must be reported to your immediate supervisor immediately.

Liberty Hill ISD provides Workers' Compensation benefits to employees who experience a work-related injury or occupational illness.

Once you report an injury, you and your Supervisor must fill out the First Report of Injury & HIPPA form. Return the documentation to the Campus Nurse or Department Admin. Asst. no later than the next business day, so it can be emailed to the Human Resources Department.
