4.70 Workers' Compensation Coverage
All University employees are covered by Iowa Workers' Compensation. The
purpose of workers' compensation is to reimburse employees and/or dependents
for job-related injuries including medical expenses and a percentage of
lost wages.
Employees are required to report any injury on the job, regardless of how
minor it may be, to their supervisor. An Employer's First Report of Injury
form should be completed and submitted to the Benefits Section, Personnel
Office, within 3 working days of the injury. Any medical charges associated
with the injury should also be directed to the Benefits Section for payment.
