I don't suppose anyone here is an expert in workers' comp?
Edit: For a thing I'm writing, not personal necessity. In case anyone was worried that I injured myself sitting at my desk.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Lee may know something about this. Or not. It's been a while since she worked in that department.

I have some experience. What do you need to know?

It has, and mostly what I learned was "California has some whack ass laws".
I also have a migraine, and am taking a sick day, but that's not a WC thing.

Which is not outside the realm of possibility for some of us.

So my research (supplementing some sad-ass documents from the clients) says that for an injury to be compensable, it must "arise out of" and "occur within" the course and scope of employment.
I've defined "arise out of" as "meaning that the injury is caused by some circumstance of employment" and "occur within" as "meaning that the employee was performing a work-related activity at the time of the injury."
Is that more or less correct? It strikes me as a pretty fine distinction.

I know my boss got workman's comp when she fell walking across the lobby of the building and broke her wrist. I mean, I guess the injury was caused by the circumstance of her walking in her place of employment, and by work-related activity I suppose walking into the building is work-related. But in my experience workman's comp is pretty broad, and your definition sounds narrower than I'd expect.

Did you tell him about the pictures of naked women on the conference room walls? Did you tell him they gave you free porn?
I may have mentioned the free porn and I also may have used the phrase, "seriously, dad, boobies everywhere."
