144.4 Workers' Compensation Insurance |
A. Background Members of the faculty and staff share in university programs which insure members of the community in the event of injury, disability, and death. |
B. Policy Workers' Compensation Insurance is provided for on-the-job injuries. Workers' Compensation Insurance will pay the medical bills plus furnish the faculty or staff member with a salary (depending on his or her weekly earnings) as long as the disability continues. Workers' Compensation Insurance also provides a death benefit for on-the-job injuries resulting in death. |
C. Guidelines 1. On-the-job injuries should be reported immediately to the Personnel Department. Failure to do so within twenty-four (24) hours after the accident may result in the loss of this benefit. 2. The premium for this coverage is paid completely by the university. ........................... |
