North Carolina State employees who are injured on the job are covered by the workers’ compensation laws of the State of North Carolina.

The State of North Carolina is self-insured, which means that agencies do not purchase insurance coverage for workers’ compensation, but pay claims out of the state budget, as they occur. The State contracts with a Third Party Administrator to handle the workers' compensation claims of most of its agencies.

If you are a North Carolina State Employee or if you are a City employee of a municipality in the State of North Carolina who has suffered a work-related injury or illness, you have a right to workers’ compensation benefits. To start your claim, you must report your injury to your employer and complete a Form 18.
