How does an employee who is 'paid under the table' get medical bills paid and file a workman's comp claim for an injury?

If you're getting paid under the table, which is ducking the government and not paying taxes like the rest of us do, then you are not eligible for workman's comp or medical insurance. You employer, who does not techinically employ you in the eyes of the law, has no obligation to cover your expenses.

Are you required to pay for health insurance while on short term disability?

That depends upon whether you are covered under FMLA, and the percentage of premium paid by your employer. If you are covered under FMLA, then your employer is required to continue coverage on the same basis as before your leave. For example if your employer was paying half the premium and you were paying half the premium, this arrangement would continue while you are on leave. You would be responsible for continuing these payments. If your employer pays 100% of the premium you would have no payments to make. If you are not covered under FMLA your employer is free to ask you to pay 100% of the premium.

Can you draw unemployment from someone who paid you in cash?

Regardless whether the manner you were paid was by check, cash, etc., if the employer is paying unemployment taxes to the state, it's the state that would pay you. If you were being "paid under the table" and no record was maintained about your employment, then you could have difficulty.


If you get paid under the table and want to claim that income on your taxes can you do that without getting in trouble because you did not pay any taxes on that income?

You can get in more trouble NOT reporting it. It is absolutely law, and one they enforce and care about, that you report your earnings, regardless of whether the one paying you or not does. Once you report it, you will have it as taxable income, although if you will actually pay any tax is another matter.

Can an insurer sue an employer to recover benefits for on the job death?

That is a great question! The answer is, it depends. If there is outright and proveable negligence on the part of the employer, the insurer may have cause to either deny paying the claim (under the employers's liability coverage), or pay the claim to the injured party(ies), and then litigate the employer to recover the damages.
