Worker's compensation

All university employees are covered by the North Carolina Worker's Compensation Act. Job-related accidents and occupational diseases are compensable under this legislation. Persons may be eligible for payment of all medical expenses, disability income, and death benefits as a result of such accidents or diseases.

See the Human Resources policy and procedures on reporting job-related incidents.

The Safety Department will provide the appropriate forms to the supervisor for filing the accident report. The report must be filed within five working days.
