Supreme Court rules voluntary work lacks compensation
The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that a person performing voluntary tasks for which he would usually receive tips or gifts is not eligible for compensation under the Connecticut Compensation Act. George Gina of Derby, a janitor for Home Trust Co. and Alling Realty Co., received tips from W B Downs, president of both firms, for small chores and was injured while adjusting a car chain. The court found the injury occurred outside the scope of his employment and that only tips from Downs constituted remuneration, not regular pay, so compensation was denied.
