Does what you make an hour decide what you get from workmans comp?
As a general rule, yes. However the payments are capped at a certain level.
Do you have to repay workmans compensation if you receive a lawsuit settlement?
You need to check with your work comp state laws, but in most states you do not have to pay taxes on your settlement. You can usually google something like "your state-work comp laws".gov to find website.
If you get a spider bite on your hand while digging a ditch does workmans compensation cover this?
You have to be off work and have hospital forms for workmans comp and a spider bite doesn't make you lose time for work unless it was a very poisonous one for some reason and you went to the hospital.
If a company pays into workmens comp for you but issues you a 1099 are you an employee or an independent contractor?
In the state of New York do I have to carry workmans comp for 1099 independent conractors Just because a company pays into WC for you doesn't make you an employee. Many states are "ladder states," meaning liability follows up the ladder until someone can pay. In Texas, General Contractors are required to carry Comp for their subcontractors (who are 1099 workers) who don't have it, or remain liable if they don't (since TX is the voluntary Comp state.) For New York, inquire of the NY State WC Board, 518.474.6670, but I think your answer is yes, if they don't have it.
If you are injured on your second job will workmans comp pay your lost income from your other job which is your main source of income?
Individual states make Workman's Insurance (comp) laws. In general any income lost from injury is taken into account when benefits are assessed.
Can I still get workmans comp if it happened at work but I told them it didn't?
You will probably need to explain why you didn't tell the truth as well as why they should believe you now, and you may have gone past the time period to report your injury, but I encourage you to make your claim quickly to find out. The time period varies by state.
What should you do if your employer offers you light duty after a workplace injury turned into workmans comp?
Depending on the State Laws in your state, you may not have any choice but to accept it, whether you like the job or not. I look at this way, you could have no job and no income, so light duty or having different duties is better than nothing. Make sure you read up on your State's latest DOL injury information.
As a business owner can you get workmans comp for your self?
of course if you insure yourself and are injured on the clock. You only get compensated for set pay though, so if the business keeps running while your out and you normally just make profits then theres no point
Can my employer of six years who have put me in a new department since going on Workmans Compensation light duty fire me?
no, not legally so make sure you do every thing by the book in your new dept. and keep records (dates and times)of any thing you find suspicious regarding your employers behavior towards you. he/she might be setting you up for a fall to fire you in a legal manner. and remember the dept of labor is there for this reason You can not be fired for being on workmans comp but you can be fired for not doing your job tasks according to company guidelines within your light duty limits. For instance if you continually come in late to work or are absent you can be fired as this has nothing to do with the workmans comp.
What is the NC workmen's comp law about returning to work after the doctor releases you with lifting restrictions this is part of your job does the company have to find another job or discharge you?
The BBB has nothing to do with workmans comp. Do your research at the source: http://www.workerscompensation.com/north_carolina.php Call your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and ask them. Where I come from, the employer has to make a reasonable effort to alter your workload if possible.
What is the criteria to be able to buy workmens comp ins?
AnswerFederal law developed the work comp system and every state has a unique form of it. If you have a single employee, then you need work comp insurance. No matter the state. If the employee becomes injured, if you don't have work comp insurance they can sue your company and you personally for not carrying the work comp insurance.You can be a sole P, INC, LLC, or partnership and get work comp insurance. You can even get work comp insurance for yourself as an owner.Check with a local insurance broker to make sure you are following your states law.
Do you have to have workman's comp in Louisiana?
Answer construction in LouisianaIn order to aquire contracting or home-improvement license you must have workmans comp. AnswerAll 50 states require Workers Compensation but most if not all allow for some exemptions. However, exemptions, due to number or type of employees, for example, are from carrying insurance, NOT from liability. So before you forgo coverage, make sure you have fulfilled your state reporting requirements and can write a big check! In Texas alone, an alternative to Comp known as Non-Subscription is available, and in 47 states VOCAL is available as a short term alternative to Comp for volunteers and self employed workers in the entertainment and hospitality industries (conventions, parades, concerts, wedding receptions, football concessions, etc.)
