Purpose

Policy

All Library employees are covered under the provisions of applicable state workers’ compensation laws. Workers’ compensation covers employees’ reasonable and necessary medical expenses and provides weekly income for lost time from work due to an accident or an illness deemed compensable under the workers’ compensation law. Employees are required to report all work-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses as detailed in Library procedure SH 540.1 [6].
