WORKERS' COMPENSATION
The University of Florida provides workers' compensation coverage to all its employees in accordance with state statutes. This coverage includes payment for medical care and compensation for lost wages. PPD Risk Management coordinates with the Human Resource Services Workers' Compensation Office to assure the quick and efficient delivery of benefits to an injured worker and to facilitate the worker 's return to gainful reemployment.
PPD strictly follows the university's modified duty program. This program is designed to meet the legislative intent of the 1993 revisions to state of Florida Workers' Compensation Law. The modified duty program at UF begins when the authorized medical care provider releases the injured employee to return to modified duty work. All PPD employees released to modified duty work will be provided temporary modified duty work.
