Worker's Compensation / On the Job Injuries and Accidents

 

1.  The employee or supervisor notify CBN/Regent Campus Police (ext. 2075) immediately in the event of an on-the-job injury, accident or serious illness.  Campus Police will complete an accident report.

2.  The employee must complete the "Worker's Compensation Accident Claim Form" immediately and submit it to Human Resources (ADM111).  The forms are available from Human Resources and also on the forms website.  If the injured employee requires medical attention, please contact Human Resources prior to seeking medical care, except in cases of extreme emergency when Human Resources cannot be contacted quickly.

3.  The employee chooses one of the medical providers from the approved panel for medical treatment in connection with a Worker's Compensation Claim.  These are not the same physicians in the employee health plan network of physicians.

Worker's Compensation patients may be seen initially at the closest location to Regent University, Patient First, 5486 Indian River Road, Virginia Beach, VA. If a second visit, follow-up treatment, consultation or referral to an orthopedic specialist is needed, that treatment must be provided by one of the physicians on the list of physicians that will be provided by one of the physicians on the approved panel.

4.  The supervisor must provide a short statement of the accident to Human Resources the same day. The statement may be emailed to the Benefits Manager.

5.  An employee who is unable to return to work must obtain a written statement from the approved Worker's Compensation physician.  Worker's Compensation will pay 66 2/3% of the employee's average weekly wages for time lost from work in excess of seven consecutive days.  Contact Human Resources for instructions concerning lost work days less than seven.

THE "WORKER'S COMPENSATION ACCIDENT CLAIM FORM" MUST BE SUBMITTED IMMEDIATELY TO HUMAN RESOURCES (ADM 111).
