Workers Compensation
-
Workers’ compensation is a state regulated insurance program that pays reasonable medical costs if you are injured on the job. Depending on the employee’s rate of pay, workers’ compensation will replace 70% or 75% of an employee’s lost wages. If the injury or illness causes the employee to lose all of his/her income for more than seven days, an employee becomes eligible for Temporary Income Benefits (TIB) on the 8th day that the work-related injury or illness causes the employee to lose all of his/her usual pay. You cannot receive workers’ compensation benefits for any days of absence that you receive pay from Wylie ISD.
Effective September 1, 2019, Wylie ISD’s workers’ compensation coverage provider is TASB Risk Management Fund. The workers' compensation pharmacy benefits are provided by Optum Care.
