In May 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom enacted an executive order that created a COVID-19 workers' compensation presumption for any employee who worked outside the home during the statewide shelter-in-place order. Prior to this executive order, under the California workers’ compensation system, employees need to present medical evidence that their illness or injury was related to work to establish causality that the workplace caused their illness or injury, but this order stated that any covered worker contracted COVID-19 would be automatically "presumed" to be work-related without the employee having to provide any further proof. This order expired on July 5th, 2020. In response to this, the California legislature put forth two COVID19 presumption bills, SB 1159 and AB 685, which were signed into law on September 17th and are in effect through January 1st, 2023. Today, Dr. Robert Blink will share with us the top things occupational medicine clinicians and employers should know about COVID19 presumption laws.
