Join the discussion with our expert panel about this complex, evolving topic where we explore the role and responsibilities of the clinician, employer, and carrier and provide a framework for assessing and implementing new laws that remain in effect through January 1, 2023. California signed two COVID-19 presumption bills into law (State Bill 1159, Assembly Bill 685). SB 1159 expands access to workers’ compensation and makes it easier for first responders, health care workers, and people who test positive due to an outbreak at work to get the support they need, including necessary medical care and wage replacement benefits. AB 685 ensures timely notification to employees and public health officials of COVID-19 cases at workplaces. This notification will help workers take necessary precautions such as seeking testing, getting medical help, or complying with quarantine directives. We are sure you have questions! Feel free to submit them ahead of time to woema@woema.organd we will address them (time permitting) during the webinar. This is a complimentary webinar. Our Experts:
