Workers' Compensation

Bryant University employees are covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance for work-related personal injuries or occupational illnesses arising out of, or in the course of, their employment. Every work-related illness or accident must promptly be reported to the employee’s supervisor and the Human Resources Department should be notified. An accident/injury report form must be completed and will be submitted by the Human Resources Department to the University’s Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier for processing of the claim. Workers’ Compensation insurance benefits include payment of medical and hospital-related bills and compensation for lost wages. Since Workers’ Compensation insurance does not cover the first three (3) days of any work-related injury/illness claim, an employee may use accrued sick time for those days.
