Risk Management and Workers' Compensation
California law guarantees certain benefits to employees who are injured or become ill because of their jobs. Any job-related injury is covered, even first-aid type injuries and work-related illnesses. The key is whether it was caused by the job. Some injuries from off-duty social or athletic activity, for example, the company picnic or the department bowling team, may not be covered. Check with your supervisor if you have questions.
