All employees are covered under workers’ compensation insurance, which provides for benefits in case of certain on-the-job injuries.
Each employee is required to report occupational accidents or illness to the appropriate supervisor immediately. Injured employees should complete the Employee Occurrence Report form to report on-the-job accidents or illness. The form is available on the HR portion of the myAU portal site. Completed forms should be sent to the Human Resources office.
An employee sustaining an on-the-job injury or illness requiring medical attention should, where appropriate, be treated at the Student Health Center. In the event the Student Health Center is closed or follow-up treatment is required off-campus, the employee is required to notify the provider of treatment that their injury or illness is work-related.
