Who is liable for work-related injuries and/or damages at the alternate worksite?
Ans. An employee is covered under the Federal Employee’s Compensation Act if injured in the course of actually performing official duties at the alternate worksite. The employee must notify the supervisor immediately of any accident or injury and complete necessary forms. The government is not liable for damages to an employee’s personal or real property at the alternate worksite, except to the extent the government may be held liable under the Federal Tort Claims Act or the the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees Claim Act.
