Which of the following is true about AOE/COE in relation to workers' compensation?

• A. Arising Out of Employment / Course of Employment
• B. Actual Operating Expenses
• C. Arising On Employment / Condition Of Employment
• D. Active Ongoing Examination

Answer: (A)

For workers’ compensation, two条件 determine coverage: the injury must be connected to the job both by its cause and by the time and place it occurred. The statement that matches this idea is that an injury is compensable when it arises out of the employment and occurs in the course of the employment. Arising out of the employment means there’s a causal link between the job duties or work conditions and the injury—hazards or risks created by the work environment or the tasks performed. In the course of employment means the incident happens while the worker is performing duties for the employer or within the time and place of employment. This is why a slip-and-fall on a wet floor at the worksite is covered, whereas an injury from a personal activity unrelated to work, or outside work hours and premises, generally is not.

The other options don’t fit because they describe terms that aren’t part of the workers’ compensation coverage test: actual operating expenses isn’t a workers’ comp concept, and the phrases in the remaining choices don’t reflect the established criteria for compensability.
