3.3 WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE

Wyoming employers must insure with the state’s Worker’s Compensation Insurance Fund for those occupations and circumstances covered by Worker’s Compensation.

Worker’s Compensation applies to certain circumstances and occupations as defined by the Worker’s Safety and Compensation Division.

In the event an employee receives an injury associated with a specific workplace event incident, the employee shall report the matter immediately to the Sexton, but in no case later than 72 hours after its nature becomes apparent. The Workers’ Safety and Compensation Division, Cody, Wyoming field office is located at 1026 Blackburn, Suite 4, 527-5609.
