Workers compensation law is
probably familiar to you, in your usual course of business.
|
|
|
|
Common elements of workers
compensation include:
|
|
|
|
Whether one meets the
definition of “employee.”
|
|
|
|
When one was acting within
the scope of one’s employment when injured.
|
|
|
|
Compensation for
work-related injuries is governed by several laws, depending on whether you
are a private or a state employee.
|
|
|
|
This represents an area of
public health emergency law that is under some change and further
development. Some issues to think about here:
|
|
|
|
In the event of an
emergency, it is anticipated that the definition of terms such as employee or
employment will require some clarification. Also, whether a private employee
converts to a state employee, acting as an agent for the state in an
emergency.
