Workers’ Compensation and Short-Term Disability

All employees are covered under our Workers’ Compensation policy as required by applicable law. This benefit is paid for by Midi. Accidental injuries that occur during working hours or conditions caused by work activities are covered under our Workers’ Compensation policy. This insurance provides for the payment of medical expenses and weekly compensation payments during the period of an employee's work-related injury or illness.

Employees must report all injuries, no matter how slight, to management as soon as possible. Claim forms must be filed promptly to ensure claims are processed and Midi records are prepared properly. Failure to follow Midi procedures may affect employees’ eligibility to receive Workers’ Compensation benefits.

All employees also may be entitled to receive statutory short-term disability payments for non-occupational injuries or illnesses depending on their work location and applicable law.

Workers’ compensation and short-term disability are solely a monetary benefit and not a leave of absence, unless otherwise provided by applicable law. For information regarding leaves of absence that may be available while receiving these benefits, please refer to the leaves of absence policies and/or contact Human Resources.
