Workers' Compensation
USF provides coverage through the Travelers Indemnity Company for employees who experience work-related injuries and illnesses. Workers compensation is intended to provide medical care and wages for lost time resulting from work-related injuries and illnesses caused by an employee’s work.
Procedures
In the event of a life-threatening or limb-threatening medical emergency, call (415) 422-2911 if working on campus or 911 if working off campus. Additionally and immediately after a work work-related injury or illness occurs, you must inform:
