Question
It’s the end of the summer and your firm has its annual Family Picnic Day on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. It is a big event: games for kids, a magician who makes balloon animals, tons of great food, kegs of beer, a band for musical entertainment, and the big softball game at the end of the day. One of your managers, the larger-than-life weekend- warrior type, gets injured in the game. Apparently after one too many beers, his attempt to sprint and make a head first slide into second base turns into him tripping over his own feet and landing awkwardly on his face and shoulder. He ends up with two broken teeth and a dislocated shoulder. Do you believe this should be covered as a workers’ compensation claim? Explain your reasoning and be spisific.
Explanation / Answer
Answer:
In the given case it is clear that the manager fell because of his own mistake and overdrinking. As per workers compensation provisions , any hard due to his own act should not be compensate.
Hence there shall be no claim available to the director for such accident.
