All persons employed in the service of and on the payroll of the institutions and agencies under the direction and governance of the Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System that Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage is provided in accordance with Chapter 502 of the Texas Labor Code.
Employees who suffer an injury or illness as a result of and in the course and scope of employment should immediately notify his/her supervisor, HR.Leave@tamuc.edu, and Howard.Pierson@tamuc.edu. Failure to report the injury within 30 days of the occurrence (or the manifestation of the occupational disease) may result in the denial of the claim.
