Worker's Compensation

Workers’ compensation is a “no-fault” system that provides compensation for medical expenses and wage losses to employees who are injured or who become ill because of employment.

Goodwind Development Corporation pays the entire cost of workers’ compensation insurance. The insurance provides coverage for related medical and rehabilitation expenses and a portion of lost wages to employees who sustain an injury on the job.

The company abides by all applicable workers’ compensation laws and regulations. If an employee sustains a job-related injury or illness, it is important to notify the supervisor and HR immediately. The supervisor will complete an injury report with input from the employee and return the form to the HR department. HR will file the claim with the insurance company. In cases of true medical emergencies, report to the nearest emergency room.

Workers’ compensation benefits (paid or unpaid) will run concurrently with FMLA leave, if applicable, where permitted by Guam and federal law. In addition, employees will not be paid vacation or sick leave for approved absences covered by the company’s workers’ compensation program, except to supplement the workers’ compensation benefits such as when the plan only covers a portion of the employees’ salary as allowed by Guam or federal law.
