Accident Reporting and Workers' Compensation

Any employee, student, or visitor that sustains an injury or illness while on campus should fill out a university Accident Report Form and submit it to EHS. Directions for submission can be found on the top of the Accident Report Form.

SRU employees, including student employees, are covered under the University's Workers' compensation Insurance Program. Employee accidents/injuries, however, may or may not result in a workers' compensation claim. If a claim is indicated, EHS will process a claim on the respective employee's behalf to our third party administrator for claims. Employees are advised that a valid social security number is required in order to process a workers' compensation claim.

Workers' Compensation Programs & Procedures

During the first 90 days following a workplace injury, SRU employees are required to make and attend a follow-up appointment with a medical provider on the University's Panel of approved medical providers for workers compensation. Employees should not seek a follow-up with their own personal medical providers/physician. Following 90 days, employees may request to seek medical attention elsewhere.

While EHS facilitates workers' compensation claims on our employees behalf, it is the responsibility of each employee to submit appropriate paperwork from the medical provider (Physician, specialist Physician and/or group, laboratory, MRI providers, etc...) to EHS. Of particular importance is a medical status report that clearly indicates the employees work status. There are three options for returning to work:

Return to work-no restriction
Return Work-with restriction (identify specific restrictions)
Unable to return work

With the exception of the returning to work without restriction, it is also the employee's responsibility to keep EHS informed of all the follow-up appointments with medical providers, and subsequent updates to work status.

Volunteers to campus are covered under the workers' compensation insurance program.
