Why do I have to fill out a workers compensation claim form when I have returned to my normal duties?
The University requires a claim form to be completed for all injuries requiring medical treatment and/or time off work. The claim form allows the University to register your injury for reporting purposes. By completing a claim form at the time of injury you will have a clear recollection of what occurred. This will reduce delays if any future treatment is required as there will already be an existing record of your injury and a claim number. [ Top of Page ] 3. How will lodging a workers compensation claim affect my employment? If your claim has been accepted, and if you have no capacity to work, you will be paid workers compensation while your are off work. If, within 52 weeks of your injury you are able to return to work, the University is required to provide you with employment in a position which is the same or equivalent to the position held before injury or with suitable employment. (S155A ACA 1985) [ Top of Page ] 4.
