- With so many employees working from home, what injuries at home are work-related and require payment of workers’ compensation benefits?
- If an employee is quarantined due to potential contamination is that compensable?
- What if a work-at-home employee works in another state?

- What steps should employers and insurers take to prevent work-at-home injuries?
