N.D. Admin. Code 4-11-02-02
Terms used in this chapter are as defined in North Dakota Century Code title 65, except that "employee" is limited to an employee who is employed by the state at the time the employee sustains a compensable work injury. Additionally:
1. "Employing authority" means the state entity that is the employer at the time the alleged injury occurred to the employee.
2. "First aid" means any one-time treatment of minor bruises, scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and other incidents, which do not ordinarily require medical care. Treatment is considered first aid even when provided by registered professional personnel employed by the employing authority.
3. "Receiving authority" means a state entity other than the employing authority that provides the transitional duty to an injured employee who is temporarily unable to return to the preinjury position.
4. "State" means any agency, authority, board, body, branch, bureau, commission, committee, council, department, division, industry, institution, instrumentality, or office of the state.
5. "Transitional duty" means employment that includes only short-term duties that can be taught to the employee quickly and which fall within the employee's restrictions and physical limitations.
