Employees are covered by workers’ compensation insurance when they suffer a compensable injury/disease in the course and scope of employment. SAIF Corporation (SAIF) is the university’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier. SAIF will determine the compensability of all claims. Contact Workers' Compensation at workinjury@uoregon.edu or visit the Safety and Risk Services website for more information about injury reporting and workers' compensation.
