The University of Kentucky pays all of the cost of the worker's compensation program. Your supervisor will help you get medical care and report the incident to our worker's compensation carrier under the University of Kentucky worker's care program. The department will pay for the first five days out of their budget. The position is protected and cannot be filled by a full-time regular employee. The employee will be responsible for all medical costs and will not receive supplemental payments.
Claimants have the right to appeal denied claims to the worker's compensation board.
