Best Answer

Yes, if it's on going. In British Columbia, Canada when a person is off work for three days or more an employer can ask for a doctors note. It's best to get a doctors note if possible because the doctor will only tell the employer that you are being treated, but won't tell the employer what you are being treated for (patient/doctor confidentiality.)

Does a home based business have to pay payroll taxes for an employee?

It depends on if the employee is considered a contractor meaning does the employer have any say in how results are produced and if the employee makes over $500.00 If the employee is not a contractor, then taxes need to be paid by the employer and the employee. A good place to get more information on this is a local small business association.

What is the role of power in regulation of employment relationship?

There are multiple bases of power and the employment relationship embodies what is known as legitimate power.Employment is a contract between the employer and the employee where the employee agrees to perform a specified work and the employer agrees to compensate the employee (i.e. money, stock options, and benefits).In an ideal world the employee would live up to his responsibility to provide the service that he was contracted to provide. We do not live in an ideal world so the following happen:The employment contract is vague therefore the employee does not know what they are supposed to provideThe employment contract is well defined but the employee does not understand what they are supposed to doThe employee for whatever reason provides less than the minimum service required by the contractWhen an employment contract is poorly specified or when an employee takes actions that exceed a well specified contract then the employer needs to invoke power to regulate this. When the contract is poorly specified they have the obligation to provide clarity on the contract and work with the employee to define all vague areas and make sure that both parties are still in agreement with the contract. When employees exceed well specified contracts then the employer needs to reign them in and establish why there is a misunderstanding of the contract.A well defined employment contract will specify concreteand measurable targets that the employee must provide; an example is a union contract where productivity is very explicit.When the employee fails to provide the required performance then the employee has breached their contract and the employer can seek remedy. This is where the employer has the right to regulate an employee but only where it concerns the employer.For example, you may have an employee that is chronically showing up late on Monday morning because they party late on Sunday night. The employer can talk about being on time but the employer can't comment about how the employee spends their Sunday night.Even though an employer clearly needs to be able to regulate their employees the real problem is that as humans we have biases and poor interaction skills. This makes it difficult for people to execute employer/employee relationships properly.To make matters worse, no two people (ok, maybe identical twins :-) see the world the exact same way. So unless an employment contract is as explicit and measurable as a union contract (e.g. employee will work 40 hours a week and produce at least 100 widgets) then it is a guarantee that both the employer and the employee interpret the employment contract differently.So in summary, employers have the right to use power regulate an employee only as far as it concerns the employment contract and does not break any laws at any point in the process.


What makes interested to apply here?

When asked on a application why the potential employee is interested in working there, the employer is looking for clues on how long they would remain a employee. If a employee answers they needed a job they are not expected to last long, if they are generally interested in the work they may be a long time employee.


Who is responsible if an uninsured unlicensed employee driving a personal auto for company business has an accident?

Well as described, I would say everybody is irresponsible! Generally, an employee acting on the commands of his employer makes the employer liable for those actions - more likely "also" liable - so the employee may not be entirely in the clear, albeit less of an attractive target.
