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.org and we will address them
(time permitting) during the webinar.
This is a
complimentary webinar.
