Workers' compensation is a state-mandated, employer-paid benefit for employees that sustain occupational injuries or illnesses.  San José State University (SJSU) employees, including faculty, special consultants, student assistants, work-study students and appointed volunteers are covered.

REPORTING PROCEDURE WHEN INJURED

1. Report the injury immediately to your Appropriate Administrator or his/her designee.
2. In case of emergency dial 911 for paramedic assistance or 924-2222 for University Police Department. 
3. Seek immediate medical treatment.  SJSU employees are authorized to seek medical treatment at the Student Health Center (SHC). If SHC is closed seek treatment at O’Connor Hospital Emergency Department.  When treatment is needed beyond the first visit SHC/O’Connor Emergency Department will refer to an appropriate specialist or facility.
4. Provide all medical work status reports to your Appropriate Administrator or his/her designee and the Workers’ Compensation Specialist.
5. For more information or questions contact the Workers’ Compensation Specialist, the third party adminstrator or the Division of Workers’ Compensation Information & Assistance Unit.
