incident to employment

Read a random definition: criminal letter

A quick definition of incident to employment:

Incident to employment: This means that if someone gets hurt or sick while doing their job, they can get help from their employer. This is called workers' compensation. It's like a special insurance that helps workers who get hurt or sick because of their job.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Incident to employment refers to risks that are related to or connected with a worker's job duties. These risks are covered by workers' compensation insurance.

Examples:

A construction worker falls off a ladder while installing a roof.
A delivery driver gets into a car accident while making a delivery.
A nurse contracts a contagious disease while treating a patient.

These examples illustrate how incidents that occur while performing job duties are considered incident to employment. In each case, the worker was injured or became ill as a direct result of their job responsibilities.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?

lilypadfrog

20:31

that seems crazy #tome

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)

Chicago/UVA are more to the right but not by an exceedingly large difference
