Workers’ Compensation 101 What is workers’ compensation? Workers’ compensation is a mandatory program that pays medical costs and lost wages to full and part-time employees in the event of a work-related injury or illness. Who is eligible for workers’ compensation? All student labor and work-study students are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, assuming the injury/illness occurs while in the course of their employment with the University. Who determines if an injury/illness is covered? The State contracts with a third party administrator to determine whether or not a claim is compensable under workers’ compensation. It is not up to the supervisor, employee, or anyone else at the University to make the determination.

What to do when an injury/illness occurs? The State of Connecticut WC Program requires that an employee report a work-related injury/illness to their supervisor immediately. Any emergency medical treatment should be sought. Student Health Services can be utilized by STUDENTS only Area emergency departments or walk-in clinics Supervisors must work with the injured employee to complete the DAS First Report of Injury WC-207, within 24 hours of the incident. The form can be found on the Payroll website: www.payroll.uconn.edu Supervisors MUST accept all reports of injury from an employee and cannot deny an employee from filing a claim.

What to do once the WC-207 is filled out? The supervisor must call the reporting hotline to report the injury/illness by calling 1-800-828-2717 (found underneath the signature line on the form) At the end of the call, you will be given a reference number which is placed in the upper left hand corner of the form You must send a copy of the WC-207 to the Payroll Department, Attn: Vivian Cadenhead Fax: 860-486-6510 Ubox: 1111

Time Lost from Work When an employee has been placed out of work, they may or may not be eligible for wage replacement benefits. It is imperative that a supervisor inform the WC Administrator in the Payroll Department if an employee is losing time from work as a result of their injury. This may impact how and if time is entered into FOCUS, so timing is very important!

Restricted/Light Duty If an employee seeks medical treatment and is given light duty, ensure that they are working within their restrictions. The University is at risk if you have them performing tasks they are restricted from performing! Any medical forms that you receive should be sent to the WC Administrator in the Payroll Department. If the employee is given restrictions that you cannot accommodate, you must notify the WC Administrator.

Summary Timeliness is critical in processing a claim. Complete the First Report of Injury; form WC-207 Call the reporting line Send the WC-207 and related medical documentation to the Payroll Department Being aware of your surroundings to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you!
