Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania
As a manager of a restaurant, we require non slip shoes and a new hire signs a paper agreeing to buy them. If they do not buy them, are we liable if they slip and fall?

An employer is liable for work comp when an employee slips and falls, I don't think it matters whether the employee buys the shoes or not. It might be cheaper for the restaurant to pay for the shoes instead of paying for work comp claims and incresased premiums!
