Worker's Compensation
Reporting an On-the-Job Injury/Illness
If you experienced an on-the-job injury or illness, you are to report the incident immediately to your supervisor no matter how minor. Once the injury is reported, an incident investigation will occur to determine the cause of the incident and corrective action taken to prevent the incident from reoccurring. Please note: Failure to report an injury could result in the denial of your claim.
Workers' Compensation
The Worker’s Compensation program provides benefits to any employee who suffers disability through accident or occupational disease arising out of, and in the course of employment, according to the provisions of the State of California Workers’ Compensation Act. This act applies to all University Employees, whether full-time, part-time, or temporary.
