The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court affirmed the decision made by the Workers Compensation about an injury that occurred during the preemployment of a person.

The person filing the claim said that she had to take a tuberculin test before getting hired. She claimed that after she took the test, she felt faint and fell to the floor and was seeking payment of her medical bills. The board denied her claim because she was not an employee yet.

The board decided that even if the employer was to hire she was not an employee at the time of the incident so she was not entitled to the workers compensation benefits. The Commonwealth Court found that although the woman claimed that she was hired already, if she would have failed the tuberculin test, the compnay would not have hired her.
