An employer has to pay for all hours worked. Other than that, it needs to follow its own policies about paid time off. Workers comp laws do not require the EMPLOYER to pay - they require INSURANCE to pay lost time benefits.
Work injuries are evaluated under the Worker's Compensation system. If the injuries are proven, the employer pays a percentage of disability. Therefore, it is not the usual wage, but is a percentage.
to the best of my knowledge
can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
An employer is entitled to keep a record of time keeping and absenteeism of an employee. Time keeping is important as it could alter how much the employee is paid.
After an workplace injury, many employers request that an accident report be completed. You may be asked to complete an accident report if you are the injured employee, the injured employee's supervisor, or a witness to the injury. Your employer may have a specific form for you to fill out, and different information will be needed for each specific injury, but generally, a written accident report should include, at a minimum: -Date, time, and location of injury -What happened -Body parts that were injured -What could have been done to prevent the injury It is also a good idea to mention the name of the supervisor the injury was reported to and when, and when medical treatment was sought.
yes an employer has to pay the employee for jury duty and can not fire or discipline the employee in any way for time lost due to jury duty
No the employer must still until time the employer feels the employee will fail at paying(usually 6 months to pay) then he may discuss with the employee about taking it out of his/her pay.
An employer can track any employee's time. No employment law prohibits that, nor requires that employers track "all or none". The employee whose time is tracked is unharmed.
The advantages of time rate is that the employee is paid on the basis of the time that he works. The other advantage is that there is flexibility on both the employer and the employee.
Nah man
Certainly. Salary is for work only, never for not working. Employers might offer paid time off or unpaid if an injured worker misses work time.
Due to workers compensation laws, an employer must either allow their employee time off work with no negative consequences, or find another job that the worker is capable of performing during recovery. While each state has specific laws regarding workers compensation, if an employee is injured on the job, they are protected from write-ups and termination.
YES, if you are a full time employee and have been employed for 6 months. There are some other fine print but basically, the employee shall be entitled to the employee's usual compensation for time received from such employment (including travel and jury duty time). The employer has the discretion to deduct the amount of the fee or compensation the employee receives for serving as a juror from the court. No employer shall be required to compensate an employee for more time than was actually spent serving and traveling to and from jury duty.
