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.

How do you write statements for your employer on workmans comp?

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.

Does employer have to pay an employee for jury duty in Tennessee?

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.
