Injured while getting ready in the employee locker room?
The Court in Price v. WCAB held that “acts of personal convenience are within the course of employment if they are reasonably contemplated by the employment.” Price v. WCAB (1984) 37 Cal. 3d 559.
If an employee sustains an injury while getting ready at work during his/her shift and the employer previously acknowledged the activity, the injury may be reasonably contemplated and covered under workers’ compensation.
