If you get hurt on the job, your employer is required by law to pay for workers’ compensation benefits. Tell your supervisor and Pediatrics HR right away no matter how slight the injury may be. Don’t delay - there are time limits. You could lose your right to benefits if your employer does not learn of your injury within 30 days. To learn more, please review the Worker's Compensation website. Please note that the Stanford University Occupational Health Center (SUOHC) is committed to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and standards governing occupational health and safety of employees.

A workplace accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way in which a job is usually done that enables an individual with a disability, who is otherwise qualified to perform a job, to attain the same level of performance and to enjoy the same benefits and privileges of employment. Examples of workplace accommodations include ergonomic equipment and/or modification to a workstation, use of assistive technology, use of auxiliary aides and/or services, leave, modifications to work schedule, etc.

If you wish to request a workplace accommodation, you are responsible for beginning the process by requesting an accommodation from your immediate supervisor and Pediatrics HR. The Diversity and Access Office is also a resource for information on these matters. These requests should be made in writing and should include the following information:

a. Description of requested workplace accommodation;
b. Brief explanation of how the requested workplace accommodation will enable you to perform your job; and
c. Physical or mental condition and its duration.
