Correct Response: D. Workers' compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured while working on the job. An employee is entitled to workers' compensation when he or she is injured or becomes ill as a direct result of their job. Stress associated with dealing with an abusive supervisor or working in a hostile environment is an illness covered under workers' compensation, since it is a direct result of the worker's job. A respiratory infection or an infection caught from coworkers during working hours (A) is not an entitlement to receive workers' compensation. Protection for employees to take unpaid leave to care for family members (The Family and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA) and bereavement benefits (B) are distinct from workers' compensation. Any injuries suffered while walking to or from work (C) occur outside of work and are not part of workers' compensation.
