Workers' Compensation is mandatory coverage that is provided to all eligible employees in California. It is designed to provide employees with immediate medical attention and other benefits when they are injured or become ill at work.  More information is available in the CSUB Workers' Compensation / Industrial Disability Leave Summary guide.

WHO IS COVERED?

Workers' Compensation benefits are afforded to employees of the University whose injury or illness arises out of their employment and occurs during the course and scope of their employment with the University.  Contractors, vendors and their employees are not employees of the University and would seek benefits from their employers should they become injured.

RETURN TO WORK

If an employee is returned to work with restrictions identified by the treating physician, CSUB will review those work restrictions and determine if accommodations can be made.  Please note that CSUB has a return to work program and makes reasonable efforts to accommodate work restrictions.
