Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ Compensation may provide medical payments and wage or salary continuation in the event you are injured or become ill during the course of performing your regular job duties and the injury or illness relates specifically to the performance of those job duties.

A work related injury or illness should be immediately reported to your supervisor and/or Human Resources after first receiving care for the injury or illness, if needed. An Accident/Injury Report should be completed and sent to CSU Environmental Health and Safety. You can find the form here. A First Report of Injury (FROI) must be filed with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation through the treating physician or through CareWorks, the University’s Workers’ Compensation administrator. Call CareWorks at 888.627.7586 or click here.

Compensation for lost time wages is available if you are off work for eight days or longer because of the work related injury or illness.

If you miss 14 consecutive days due to an allowed illness or injury, you will be compensated for the entire period of time you are disabled as a result of the allowed work related injury or illness. The first seven (7) days of the disability are not paid unless you miss 14 consecutive days.
