Workers’ Compensation<br />

Workers’ compensation is a state mandated benefit<br />

that is provided at no cost to the employee. Workers’<br />

compensation laws provide money and medical<br />

benefits to an employee who has an injury as a result of<br />

an accident, injury or occupational disease on-the-job.<br />

Workers’ compensation is designed to protect workers<br />

and their dependents against the hardships from injury<br />

or death arising out of the work related injury. It is<br />

intended to benefit the employee and employer alike.<br />

When an injury is ruled as compensable by law, the<br />

injured employee becomes eligible for compensation<br />

and medical benefits as prescribed by the Workers’<br />

compensation law.<br />

If an employee is injured on the job, he/she must<br />

contact HR Services or Campus Safety immediately.<br />

Please contact HR Services at 703-284-1680 to<br />

report an injury or with questions regarding Workers’<br />

compensation.<br />

Group Insurance Programs<br />

Separate descriptions of each insurance plan and<br />

retirement plan documents are updated periodically.<br />

These materials are available from the Office of<br />

Human Resource Services. All coverage is subject to<br />

the terms and limitations of the applicable carrier and<br />

may change from time to time.<br />
