UPDATE COVID-19 California Workers Compensation:  SB 1159 codifies the COVID-19 presumption created by Executive Order N-62-20 and provides two new rebuttable presumptions that an employee’s illness related to coronavirus is an occupational injury and therefore eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if specified criteria are met. Employees who are sick can stay home and be provided workers’ compensation benefits,  thereby reducing the spread of the virus to others at work and in the community.  The new law encourages employers to comply with all local health directives and guidance concerning safely reopening businesses to reduce risk of exposure and mitigate outbreaks in the workplace.  For FAQs, please go to https://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/Covid-19/FAQ-SB-1159.html and be sure to give us a call or email us with any questions specific to your business, or for any clarifications.
