What should I do if I require medical treatment as a result of an injury sustained whilst on assignment with Adecco?

 

Contact your Adecco Consultant. If you require more treatment than that offered by a First Aider on site (i.e.) Medical Centre/ Emergency Dept you must advise the medical provider that you are an “Adecco Employee” upon your first and any subsequent visit.

You may be referred by our client to their preferred medical provider but it is important that they recognise and record your details as an Adecco employee.

If you receive an ACC45 from medical attention provided you must give this and any other supporting documentation to Adecco as soon as possible. This is so we can ensure we make payment to you for any wages due and have all documentation we require to assist with ACC requirements.

Who will pay me if I need time off work after being injured at work?

As your employer Adecco is required to pay you for your first weeks pay after your injury if the incident is deemed work related. If your assignment was of an ongoing and full time nature, payment is calculated as an average based on the 10 days prior to your date of injury.

In order for this to happen you must complete the required documentation including an ACC45 Injury Claim form from your medical provider, confirming that the injury happened whilst on assignment.

After the first week ACC will manage your claim if you are not able to return to work.
