If by "file," you mean contact the worker's compensation carrier and provide notice of an accident and the resulting injury, then yes. If you're referring to filing a claim, called a Petitions for Benefits in Florida, then no. The Petition requires the signature of the employee/claimant and their attorney.

If you are on full disability and you need pain medication can workmans comp make you drive two hours to work to find light duty?

If your employer forces employees to work in a light duty status when injured on duty then they also have to offer light duty work to employees with non-work related injuries. If the employer refuses to do this the employee will be able to collect unemployment compensation. Q. What happens if an employee disagrees with the insurance company on a workers' compensation claim denial? A. The employee may request assistance from an Information and Assistance Officer who will attempt to help resolve the dispute informally. If that effort fails, the employee can file an application for adjudication with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, (WCAB). The Information and Assistance Officer may be able to assist with this filing unless the injured worker has retained a private attorney. The WCAB has exclusive jurisdiction for resolution of the dispute. http://quotit.net/resources/workcomp.pdf You might also want to check out this website http://www.geocities.com/la_rsi/index.html For more info. see www.steveshorr.com/workers.comp.htm


Can an employer apply for workmans comp without employees request?

No one "files for" FMLA. The employer unilaterally grants it or denies it, based only on the employees' status. The employee is not consulted, and need not want FMLA. The employee cannot waive FMLA if the employer grants it.

Can an employer direct an employee to make a call to a friend of hers to check on another employee before hiring?

An employee might reasonably refuse such a request; employees have a right to keep their private lives separate from their professional lives. However, an employee might also wish to cooperate with this request; it could be helpful to the company for which the employee works, and I really do not see it as a betrayal of a friendship. If the person that the employee has been asked to check on is going to be harmful to the company in some way, wouldn't it be better to know? The employee will, after all, be affected by the success or failure of the company which employs him or her.

An Overview of Workers' Compensation?

Employees who are injured on the job are entitled to specific benefits to compensate for the loss of wages and work hours. This system is called workers' compensation, which outlines procedures for obtaining the benefits and the laws that govern this process. Each state has individual workers' compensation laws that may vary. Additionally, special workers' compensation laws pertain to federal employees and those who work in specific industries. Although the laws may vary from state to state, each business is required to purchase workers' compensation insurance to cover employees who get injured. The process to file a workers' compensation claim is similar to filing a regular insurance claim; the claim is a request for benefits.The Purpose of Workers' CompensationWorkers' compensation provides a fixed monetary award to employees who are injured on the job or as a result of performing certain job duties. In most cases, this eliminates the need to file a legal claim against an employer. Most laws also provide protection to employers and co-workers by placing limits on the amount an injured employee can recover. Workers' compensation does not seek to determine negligence, but rather to cover an employee for injuries related to his or her job.Injuries Covered by Workers' CompensationEligibility for workers' compensation covers different types of work-related injuries. If job duties accelerate or aggravate a pre-existing condition, an employee may be entitled to workers' compensation. At-work injuries during breaks, lunch hours and company sponsored activities are covered. Exposure to harmful toxins at work which lead to cancer or other life-threatening diseases is also covered. The onset of mental and physical strain from work-related stress or an increase of work duties is considered a work-related injury. Some states include a disabling mental condition that is the result of job demands and constant harassment from a supervisor.There are several things that an employee must do if he or she has been injured on-the-job. An employee should immediately report the injury in writing to the employer, keeping a copy for personal records. The employer should provide a claim form for the employee to complete. This form is used to notify the workers compensation insurance company that an injury has occurred.Employer Responsibility for Workers' CompensationUnless the company has fewer than four employees, purchasing workers' compensation is required in most states. Otherwise, employers are subject to civil liability, fines and criminal prosecution for not having workers' compensation insurance. Employers are also exposed to a lawsuit from the injured employee.Most states also require employers to post a notice of compliance with the state's workers' compensation laws in a prominent area.
