San Diego State University is committed to providing a safe working environment for all employees. In the event that you experience an injury or illness resulting from employment, you may be entitled to Workers’ Compensation Temporary Disability or Industrial Disability Leave (IDL) benefits. Enrollment is automatic for eligible employees and is effective on your date of hire.

An injury or illness may be the result of a single incident or from repeated and prolonged exposure to activities or substances at work. It is the responsibility of Human Resources to minimize the impact on you in the event this occurs. It is also our goal to facilitate your return to work as soon as possible. To achieve this goal, we strive to:

• Ensure you receive immediate medical attention;
  
  
• Coordinate payment of disability benefits in a timely manner;
  
  
• Assist you in returning to modified or transitional duty, if applicable; and
  
  
• Assist you in understanding the Workers’ Compensation process, answer questions and provide pertinent information regarding your claim.

Our Workers’ Compensation Program is administered in conjunction with Sedgwick, Claims Management Services.

For non-work related injuries or illness, please see information under Income Protection Benefits.
