Reporting work-related injuries or illnesses

Work-related injuries or illnesses must be immediately reported to Workers' Compensation. All supervisors and employees should understand and follow the following protocols. 

• Supervisors - Make sure your employees inform you of extended hospitalization and Return to Work restrictions.
  • **Report through Employee Injury and Illness Reporting (EIIR) as soon as practicable**
• Reporting injuries over the phone - you can report work-related injuries directly to the University's insurance carrier, Sedgwick, when access to Employee Injury and Illness Reporting (EIIR) is not readily available.
  • Before reporting, make sure your supervisor is informed of your injury. To report a claim, call 1-877-682-7778.

When filing an injury report, please include the following information:

• Who was injured or ill?
• Where did the injury or illness take place?
• When did the injury occur?
• What parts of the body were injured or affected?
• Did the affected individual obtain medical treatment?
