An employer is making staff sign a waiver of releasing liability if an employee gets coronavirus. So if they get sick they cant hold the business responsible. If they don't sign the waiver they are being told they can't work and may get fired. Is this legal in Georgia?
Before you get too upset about this, I am hard-pressed to think of a scenario in which your employer could ever be held liable for an employee contracting a pendemic virus. It's what some might call an "act of God." So, this is an unrealistic concern. But, if you theoretically could .... how on earth would you trace it to your work? Even if you were able to employ an expert to prove when and where you contracted the virus, and also prove that the contraction was due to your employer's negligence, any claim would likely be barred by worker's compensation. And, just FYI, even if you sign a waiver, you cannot release worker's compensation claims.
Don't sign the waiver. Of course, they might be able to fire you.
How old are you? If you are under 50 and don't smoke the odds of you getting very sick are small.
