[SML] Covid killed my job. Back to freelancing and/or other...

[Richard Niederberg]

Dear Scott,
There are a lot of people in your situation. I find myself having to
advise clients against.bringing in additional 'gig' employees because of
the risk of Workmans Compensation and other claims from persons who
claim that they were exposed to Covid 19 on a client's worksite. There is
no legal 'safe harbor' as of today. As for me, this is my fiftieth
consecutive year [1970-2020] without a successful Workman's Compensation or
Disability claim against any of my Theatres, and I want to continue.that
'winning streak'. I also pay a premium for bonded and self-insured workers.
