Workers Compensation/Workplace Injury

Workers Compensation is a state-mandated benefit for employees with industrial injuries and illnesses. Employers are required to provide benefits in case of injury, illness, death, or aggravation of a pre-existing condition resulting from employment. The University contracts and partners with a third-party administrator, Sedgwick CMS, for the management of its claims.

The term "industrial injury" is used to describe any injury, illness, or disease which results from work or working conditions, and which occurs during the employee's service to the employer. Even first-aid type injuries are covered.

Obtaining Benefits

You must report your injury to your supervisor or manager immediately. Your Department or Leave and Accommodation Services, along with Sedgwick CMS, will see that you get medical help right away, and make sure the necessary reports are filed.
