The law provides essential workers with the rebuttable presumption their infection was work-related unless the employer can demonstrate one of three exemptions.
This workshop will detail:
- The new law
- Illinois definition of essential business
- Description of the three exemptions
- Reporting claims
- Programs to protect from claims
