You're insured, so why worry? Well, let's say you own a business, large or small. It may be a professional practice, an office, a retail store, or perhaps a consultancy that has you out of the office much of the time. You have medical insurance to cover illnesses and injuries and industrial insurance for your employees, so you don't need elective industrial insurance. Right?
Or maybe you have a nanny or other domestic help working in your home. Your nanny may have medical insurance, but likely doesn't, and you have a homeowner's policy. Again, you don't need industrial insurance for her potential workplace illnesses or injuries. Right?
Wrong on both counts. You may think you're covered, but it's very likely that you are uninsured when it comes to your health concerns that originate in the workplace. Many medical insurance policies specifically exclude workplace illnesses and injuries, and business owners and certain domestic workers are not automatically covered by Washington State's industrial insurance program―the Washington State Fund.

The potential benefits of a compressed workweek are many: less traffic congestion, reduced gas consumption and corresponding pollution, an enhanced ability to balance personal and work commitments―and don't forget the three-day weekends!
One study even found that a flexible work environment promotes healthier lifestyle habits.
This year, Bader Martin is piloting a program of compressed workweeks during the summer months. Beginning the week of May 12 and extending through the week of August 11, we'll be working longer hours Monday through Thursday and closing the office on Friday.
It's important that you know our new schedule does not mean we will be unavailable if you need us on a Friday.
Our commitment to serving our clients and professional colleagues remains our top priority. If we're needed for a meeting or other event on a Friday, we'll be there. If we need to work on a Friday to meet an important deadline, we'll do so. In addition, all of our professionals will monitor voicemail and be available to return phone calls during what would otherwise be normal Friday business hours.
We're excited about the benefits of our new, flexible approach to the summer. If you have questions or concerns about its potential impact on you, please let us know.
