Workers' Compensation and Employee Benefits
The Greenfield Union School District is committed to ensuring the health and safety of all employees. In accordance with applicable laws, the District provides medical benefits, temporary or permanent disability benefits, wage replacement, retraining or skill enhancement, and/or death benefits in the event an employee sustains a work-related injury or illness.
All employees are covered by workers' compensation insurance as mandated by state law. These benefits are designed to support employees who become injured or ill in the course of their employment.
Reporting a Work-Related Injury or Illness: Employees who are injured or become ill due to a work-related incident must report the injury or illness to the Personnel Department as soon as practicable. Prompt reporting helps ensure timely access to benefits and care.
Upon receiving notice or knowledge of a work-related injury or illness, the Personnel Department will provide the affected employee—or, in the event of the employee’s death, their dependents—with a workers' compensation claim form and a notice of potential eligibility for benefits. This will occur within one working day of the District receiving such notice.
Victims of Workplace Crime: Any employee who is the victim of a crime that occurred at the worksite will be provided written notice—either in person or by first-class mail—within one working day of the incident, or as soon as the District reasonably becomes aware of the crime. This notice will include information about eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits, including those related to psychiatric injuries resulting from the crime, as outlined in Labor Code Section 3553.
