Is there workers compensation for getting sick?
Wednesday. 7.8.09 8:52 pm
If the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University is closed because of 4 cases of H1N1 influenza and students are not allowed to go to school or work part time, what about the safety of staff and faculty at school? Does their health and safety count? The closure doesn't seem to be in effect for staff and faculty because they have to goto work. The school as openly admitted that if one student was confirmed infected then most likely many more students have it not just the four confirmed because influenza tends to rest dormant in the body for at least a week. If other students have it then university staff and faculty may also have it. If faculty and staff have to work during the closure the influenza is dormant in staff and faculty currently working so in a week when the students come back to classes all the staff and faculty will be all on sick leave. Can making one work during the closure be considered a danger to ones health working in an infected area? Can staff and faculty demand workers compensation? On another related note, students are handed out free masks in residence but what about the staff and faculty? Students are more imporant than staff and faculty? I would like to know what are the legal implications of this is. Something to think about.

students = money students = revenue for the university so they have to care for them but staff and faculty = expenses... haha

they would probably actually have to get the swine flu and suffer financial damages because they got it in order to be able to consider filing worker's compensation charges.
