Injured on the Job

Teachers and other school staff injured or made sick on the job have important rights and benefits. However, in order to access these, you must follow certain procedures. The UFT is dedicated to guiding injured and ill members through the process — so that you can make use of the benefits available to you and make a speedy recovery.
