How Your Legislator Voted on Workers Comp Bill - NJBIA - New Jersey Business & Industry Association

Please vote to VETO the Workers’ Comp Legislation Assemblly Bill S2380! This bill presumes that anyone who contract COVID-19 have so at their place of employment and allows them to file for Workers’ Compensation. As such, small business costs go up for their Workers’ Compensation premiums! This change in presumption is a change from the current statute wherein the policy is designed to handle an employee’s injury on the job. Our businesses are already suffering from this pandemic and this puts further strain on our finances while leaving federal CARES Act money on the table. Please join me in urging Governor Murphy to veto this legislation!
