Keeping Up Changes to WC - Healthy & Safety 2017
In 2017, the Workers’ Compensation Board issued a proposal that would have sharply reduced “schedule loss awards” – compensation paid to injured workers for permanent loss or loss of use of a limb (such as a hand, foot, arm, or hand). The New York State Assembly Labor Committee held a public hearing to address the Board’s proposal. We submitted written testimony to the Assembly, and managing partner Robert Grey testified at the hearing in Albany (you can find the video on our Media page).
