Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ Compensation is a no-fault insurance that provides medical treatment and partial wage replacement for covered workers whose injury or illness arose out of and in the course of employment.  Employees are eligible for coverage on the first day of work.

In the event that a work-related injury results in an absence from work, contact Human Resources regarding benefits available during the absence, including Family and Medical Leave (FMLA), paid leave, and other benefits.

In the Event of an Injury

*Life Threatening, call 911. Employees should be transported by ambulance to the nearest emergency facility for immediate medical attention. Notify the Campus Safety at (703) 284-1600 to make them aware of the incident/accident.

*The employee or supervisor must notify the injured employee’s emergency contact if the event is serious, life threatening or if requested by the injured/ill employee. Contact Human Resources at HR@marymount.edu or (703) 284-1680 if assistance is needed.

If the injury is not life threatening, the employee should
