You should be treated like any other employee when on WC. If others do, you do. If not, I don't know why you would be singled out.

Even though you're out of work due to a worker's comp case, your premiums for your medical insurance still need to be paid. Just keep in mind that your medical insurance pays for medical illness and isn't related to worker's comp. Your employer may be willing to help you pay the premiums until you get back to work.

You have developed arthritis as a result of continual work on the computer consequently you had to have surgery on your hand is this a work related injury should workmens comp be filed?

Yes. Under the Workers Comp Statute - at least in Michigan, any condition that is caused by, accelerated, or aggrevated by your employment, is compensible. You merely have to have a doctor indicate that your condition is a work related repetitive action injury. If your employer won't pay you workers comp benefits, you can initiate a claim against him. You are entitled to time lost from work, all out-of-pocket medical expenses, and mileage to and from your doctor's appointments.


Does a driver who owns his dump truck have to buy workmans comp or allow the contractor to take it out of his pay?

Workman's Comp is for employees. If you are the owner and operator, you need standard health insurance. Health insurance won't pay for your lost wages, won't pay survivor benefits, and if you receive a serious injury, who will pay for your health insurance? Comp has lifetime medical benefits for injuries, and it doesn't depend on future premiums. A less expensive option is Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability - they aren't the same as Comp, but they can meet your needs. Talk to your independent insurance agent and your (General) Contractor. Also, many states are "ladder states," meaning liability goes up the ladder until someone can pay, so your (General) Contractor is probably right in requiring you to either have Comp or take it out of your pay so he can carry it for you. Some states REQUIRE him to do this.


If your employer handles their own workmens comp benefits is it legal for your case manager to require you to work at a non-profit organization while your injury heals?

Does a church need to pay workman's comp on a pastor?

My father is a pastor and has never received any type of pay or benefits. It is essentially like owning your own business. As the owner of a store you would not expect the workers to pay comp.same for church. Some churches will pay the pastor but its all up to the individual church. I'd imagine those that pay their pastor might voluntarily offer comp but there is no law requiring it. Hope that helps


Will your insurance company pay for medical problems that might arise if you choose not to use workmen's comp for an injury?
