Accident Reporting
If a student has an accident while working in their position, Public Safety should be notified immediately so medical care can be provided. The staff responsible for workers' compensation in Human Resources will be notified by Public Safety. Public Safety will complete an accident report and share any follow-up recommendations with the appropriate individuals. The Work College Program should also be notified of the incident as soon as possible.
Questions about workers' compensation should be directed to Human Resources, which works with a third-party administrator to determine applicable benefits. When a student is off work due to an injury or illness, a "Release to Return to Work" form, signed by a physician, must be submitted to the Work College Program before the student may return to work.
If a student requests an adjustment to their hour requirement due to illness or injury, the request must be accompanied by documentation showing the diagnosis, treatment and release dates, and any work restrictions or limitations.
