How does employment law differ from Workers Compensation law?
A – The workers’ compensation program covers workplace injuries and involves treating the injury, paid leave, retraining the employee, and compensation. When WC was first adopted, many employers opposed it. Now, most employers favor WC because it is a clearly-defined process with fairly predictable results and costs.
