Travel Status is a term used in workers compensation. When an employee is away from the job site they are insured during work related business, work related errands, or attending a work related event.

If an employee is out of town on assignment and they are walking across a parking lot after dinner, back to their hotel room they slip and fracture an ankle.   This is covered by workers compensation.

If an employee is out of town on assignment, and goes shopping or plays golf, or goes scuba diving, etc. This is could be considered a personal deviation and is not a workers compensation issue.

It is best to report all injuries whether or not you think it is work related.

Company Policy states all injuries needs to be reported as soon as possible within 24 hours. 

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the safety director.
