On-the-Job Injury (OJI)

All On the Job Injury incidents should be reported to [email protected].

The On-the-Job Injury Program for Rutherford County Government provides uniform procedures for the reporting, treatment, and compensation of qualified individuals who are injured while performing their duties. As provided for in Tennessee Code 50-6-106(6), Rutherford County has elected to opt out of the State Workers Compensation Program and has elected to implement and administrate an On-the-Job Injury Program (hereinafter OJI). 

The OJI program is a benefits program that provides medical, income, and death benefits to qualified employees due to injury, illness, or death resulting from a compensable work-related claim. In addition to these benefits, the injured employee also has certain responsibilities. The benefits and responsibilities are described in greater detail in the plan document.

Please review the OJI Plan Document for detailed information about the program.

We use a third party administrator (TPA) to administer the benefits of the OJI program. CCMSI is our current TPA.
