In Canada they cannot terminate medical insurance while an employee is on Worker's comp. However, if all employees have their medical terminated then the employer can get away with it.
Yes an employer can terminate an employee if the employee is abusing medical leave. However, if the employee is using FMLA, then they are likely protected.
Workmens sells an Insurance that covers the policy holder for injuries or medical conditions caused by their employment which leads them to be unable to work. It provides a salary.
Even though you're out of work due to a worker's comp case, your premiums for your medical insurance still need to be paid. Just keep in mind that your medical insurance pays for medical illness and isn't related to worker's comp. Your employer may be willing to help you pay the premiums until you get back to work.
I presume your asking about Medical/Health Insurance? If you are out of work for a work-related injury [ie. you're on work comp] your company can terminate your medical/health insurance. I don't think it applies to short-term or long-term disability as those are health/medical benefits to begin with.
Generally, employer-supplied insurance will provide major medical. Check your policy or ask your HR representative about your specific policy.
It depends upon your Contract of Employment and local legislation.
Yes. When you receive a bill from your employer that would mean that they can bill you for the medical insurance while you were employed by them.
Harassment? If your employer if asking when you can go back to work, that's not really harassment. If your employer wants to see proof that you are out due to medical reasons, that's not harassment.
Yes, unless you pay/reimburse the employer for the insurance premium out of your own pocket.
No, they can't. You can have two insurance coverages.
The most common way to get medical and dental insurance is through one's employer. However, one can also get medical and dental insurance directly from many insurance companies by going to their website or calling them.
In most states the employer MUST carry Workmens Comp. It's the law. Check with your local wage and hour or whatever it's called in your state. Workmens Comp protects employees while on the job and pays for the medical costs when an accident occurs while at work. On the other hand, if you're talking about health insurance, employers are not required to carry medical policies for employees but many employers do because it is a good way to keep valuable employees from seeking other employment.
