If the employer is the one that is relocating the employee to an area where they don't accept Kaiser's insurance, then I believe that you should be able to pay for your services/prescriptions upfront and then claiming it straight through the employer. You should check with your employer first, but they SHOULD do it. If not, you're going to be out of luck UNLESS they will pay for your premiums on your new plan. Every employer is different. They are not required to provide insurance to you, so you just have to ask about their policy on that.

Is an employer able to with hold payroll for 3 or 4 weeks?
An employer must pay wages on the designated pay date within the state's mandatory pay day laws. As an example: The pay period is 14 days (biweekly) and the pay date is Friday (as long as the state allows) after the pay period ended. The wages must be available to the employee that Friday. As an example: The pay period is 14 days (biweekly) and the pay date is 2 weeks later after the pay period ended (within state guidelines). The wages must be available to the employee on the announced pay date. If the employer says they will hold the employee's check "until..." the employee meets the employer's requirement, as in turning in borrowed equipment, or office keys, etc, then the employer is breaking the state's payday law. http://www.dol.gov/esa/contacts/state_of.htm

Why does the law impose vicarious liability of employers?
The simplest answer might be in this short (and simple) example - - If an employer has an employee and knows, or has reason to know, or SHOULD know, that the employee is not doing something correctly, or carrying out his duties properly, or fails to properly supervise the employee in the performance of their duty, then the employer becomes partially responsible for the employee's actions (or non-actions) in performing the assigned duties of their job.

In Canada What is the minimum hours an employer has to pay you if your sent home early?
It is more the minimum amount of money that an employer has to pay versus the number of hours. If an employee works less than 3 hours than the employer is required to pay the employee an amount equal to 3 hours of work at the minimum wage in the respective province. So for example, in Alberta the minimum wage is $8.80/ hours X 3 hours is $26.40, so if the employee's hourly rate is in excess of the minimum wage, for example $12.00, than the employer is only required to pay 2.2 hours, which is $26.40 / 12.

What are the disadvantages of performance appraisal?
If delivered correctly, there is no disadvantage of a performance appraisl. If delivered incorrectly, there are several disadvantages to a performance appraisal. Often times, the employer will surprise the employee with their areas of opportunity. For example, the employer may tell the employee they are deficient in a certain area, however the employer didn't bring it to the employee's attention during the course of the review period. This leads to a disgruntled employee which leads to decreased moral, productivity, and commitment. Often times, raises aren't given in conjunction with the appraisal, the employee may tend to not care what the employer has to say because they don't see the WIFFM, "What's in it for me." The success or failure of the performance appraisal is determined long before the actual appraisal. As long as the employer has effectively communicated the employee's areas of opporutnity and as long as a raise is involved, there is no disadvantage to the appraisal process.
What is the doctrine of vicarious liability?
Vicarious liability is a legal concept that holds one party responsible for the actions of another party.

What is imputed Employer liability?
Also known as "vicarious liability."Under the doctrine of agency (or master and servant), an employer may be liable for actions (or inactions) by employees, if the liability arises within the scope of the employment. It is imputed to the employer who has (presumably) given the employee certain powers in the employer's name.For example, a pizza-delivery company could be liable for a vehicle collision caused by an employee attempting to make a quicker delivery, but not for injuries caused by an employee who stops at a bar and gets into a fight (outside scope of employment).
