HR Basics: Workers Compensation

HR Basics is a series of short courses, designed to highlight what you need to know about a particular human resource management topic. In today’s HR Basics, we introduce workers compensation, discussing covered persons, covered injuries, and benefits provided.
Workers compensation is a type of insurance that provides defined wage benefits and medical care to employees who are injured on the job. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance program that pays benefits to employees who sustain work-related injuries or illnesses.
Workers’ compensation insurance programs are run by individual states and are designed to cover employee expenses incurred in work-related accidents or injuries. A work-related injury or illness is generally a physical condition that is caused, aggravated, precipitated or accelerated by the work or the work environment.
Employers have a number of responsibilities under state workers' compensation laws.If these requirements are not met, employers can be fined and injured employees may be able to sue an employer in court. Employers must: Carry workers' compensation insurance; Post notices and advise employees of their legal rights; and Provide claim forms to injured employers within 24 hours of receiving notice of the injury.

If a worker unvaccinated contracts covid 19 from from another vaccinated worker in the workplace . Would that worker be subject to workers compensation?

[@MRTFilms-kt2dc]

I wouldn't think so - how would a worker prove they were infected by the co-worker and not someone else?

[@Sath975]

Yes, the employee is entitled to put in a workers comp claim if they contract covid19 within the workplace. However, the onus will be on the employee to prove they contracted covid19 from the workplace.
