Employees Injured On-The-Job
On-The-Job Injury / Illness Program
The Worker's Compensation Act of the
State of Alabama does not apply to UAB. UAB provides, and pays for,
the UAB On-the-Job Injury/Illness (OJI) Program to cover an employee's medical
expenses and lost wages incurred as a result of an on-the-job injury
or illness. Expenses and wages are compensable under the On-The-Job
Illness/Injury Program only if the injury/illness is sustained in
the course of, and arises out of, employment at UAB.
The primary function of this division of Human
Resource Management is to coordinate the OJI program and work closely
with the Third Party Administrator, Brentwood Services Administrators Inc., who administers
the benefits on behalf of UAB. This office will be responsible for
processing of the time sheet for any employee who is receiving lost
wages benefits under this program. A copy of the OJI Injury/Illness
policy may be found by accessing www.hrm.uab.edu
and referring to the You
and UAB handbook section 3.2 *. Visit HRM's Instructions and Forms for OJI.
