Property and Casualty Insurance Practice Exam

Which of the following is not a factor for determining the connection of an injury to employment?

1. Place

2. Time

3. Employee's tenure

4. Circumstances

The correct answer is: Employee's tenure

In determining the connection of an injury to employment, several factors are considered to establish how directly the injury is related to the work environment or job responsibilities. The key aspects usually assessed include the location of the injury (place), the timing of the injury in relation to work hours or activities (time), and specific circumstances surrounding the event that led to the injury. Employee's tenure, while it offers some context regarding the individual’s experience or familiarity with the job, is not a directly relevant factor in linking an injury to employment. Tenure does not inherently relate to whether an injury was caused by the workplace or during employment activities. Instead, the focus remains on the specific location, time, and circumstances of the incident in question.
