[QUOTE=mulligan;1808450]I'd suggest that any hospital employee that has public contact, walk out until the hospital assures them , in writing, that comp will apply. Otherwise, there are plenty of jobs around. Same should apply for all jobs including public contact.[/Q

Isn't Workers Comp an insurance that protects the employee/and the employer in the event there is an injury or illness caused by work related issues. If so, it would seem that the insuring agency would define what is covered and then determine if coverage conditions were met. If someone disagrees, it seems that their issue would be with the insuring agency.

As an aside, it might be decided that one person was covered due to work, but perhaps the other was infected at home by the covered person. May be a different decision. Just saying....
