Workers' Compensation
Workers' Compensation Program
University of California's mission is to provide a safe working environment for all employees and to minimize the adverse impact of work-related injuries. In this effort we provide a variety of safety, health and claims services for our employees. Our goal in requiring the reporting of incidents is to promote prompt notification of unsafe conditions so the prompt and appropriate remediation can take place.
Upon becoming aware of employee's work injuries, please provide the employee with an Incident Report Form. Please read the Campus Policy 600-85: Workers' Compensation for the new procedure in reporting occupational injuries/illness.
The Labor Relations and Workers' Compensation Office is responsible for administering the campus self-insured workers' compensation program which includes:
- Insuring that claim forms are prepared within prescribed time frames
- Insuring coordination between the campus and UCR contracted third-party administrator, Sedgwick, CMS, in managing the reported claims
- Insuring program funding is sufficient to meet costs of claims, and
- Informing campus of relevant policies and procedures.
