Depending on what state you live in, employers have the responsibility of recording and reporting work injuries to their insurance company. They must also provide necessary medical treatment. Again, depending on the state, an employer that fails to report an injury can be fined.

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.


Is there a time limit for the employer to get the drug tests results to the employee?

Yeah, before you are hired. It takes them only a couple of days to get the results but if there is something in your system the toxicology lab will call you first and ask if you are on any prescribed drugs before giving the results to the employer. If you are they can not disclose that positive result to the employer.


Do you have an OSHA recordable if employee fails drug test?

Yes.Question 7-9 If an employee who sustains a work-related injury requiring days away from work is terminated for drug use based on the results of a post-accident drug test, how is the case recorded? May the employer stop the day count upon termination of the employee for drug use under section 1904.7(b)(3) (vii)?Under section 1904.7(b)(3)(vii), the employer may stop counting days away from work if an employee who is away from work because of an injury or illness leaves the company for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness, such as retirement or a plant closing. However, when the employer conducts a drug test based on the occurrence of an accident resulting in an injury at work and subsequently terminates the injured employee, the termination is related to the injury. Therefore, the employer must estimate the number of days that the employee would have been away from work due to the injury and enter that number on the 300 Log.

What is difference between employer and employee?

An "employee" can be anyone who works for an employer and who receives wages for payment for their work. A "contract worker" can be, but not necessarily is, someone who's duties are set out in an agreement between them and the employer that calls for that individual to perform certain duties or obtain certain results that were set out in that contract. There is no real legal definition of an "employee" and indeed the contract worker can be considered an "employee" of the company that hires them UNLESS they are Independent Contractors who actually work for themselves and hire themselves out to companies for certain duties.
