NOTICE
State of Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission
The Workers’ Compensation Act (Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 568) requires your employer,
to provide benets to you in case of injury or occupational disease in the course of employment.
Section 31-294b of the Workers’ Compensation Act states “Any employee who has sustained an injury
in the course of his employment shall immediately report the injury to his employer, or some person
representing his employer. If the employee fails to report the injury immediately, the commissioner
may reduce the award of compensation proportionately to any prejudice that he nds the employer
has sustained by reason of the failure, provided the burden of proof with respect to such prejudice
shall rest upon the employer.”
An injury report by the employee is NOT an ofcial written notice of claim for workers’ compensation
benets; the Workers’ Compensation Commission’s Form 30C is necessary to satisfy this requirement.
