UK answer.

Assuming the driver/employee was At Fault. it would be their fault totally.

Even if the vehicle was unroadworthy, it is the drivers legal responsibility to check the roadworthyness of the vehicle before driving it.

If it was a third parties fault, then any action should be taken against them.

Will workers' compensation cover employees that are getting paid in cash and has no social security number?

Yes, believe it or not, it will. The law on workers compensation places the responsibility on the employer, not the employee. The fact that the employer is behaving illegally does not absolve him from his legal responsibilities. If an employee is hurt on the job, he is entitled to workers comp. Now the insurance may not pay, but the employer must. If the employer does not pay a frequent course of action is for the state to pay and fine the employer for far more than the cost of the medical treatment.


What is the grievance handling procedudre if employees are not being given bonus inspite of company making profits?

Answer for the USA: Unless the employee has a contract with the employer in which a bonus is discussed (conditions upon which the bonus is to be given, when the bonus is to be given, the amount of the bonus, when employees vest in the bonus, etc.) employees are not guaranteed a bonus regardless of the companies profits. Most employees are "employees at-will" with no contract. If you have a contract which states these terms, your HR professional should be able to handle it, and your last method is to sue your employer. It is recommended that you approach your HR person quietly and calmly and work towards resolution before getting an attorney. You might find that you are not entitled to a bonus and you would not want to endanger your position at the company. Finally, your last line of defense is to find another employer that gives you what you want.


Investing in a 401K is Free Money?

If your employer offers its employees the option to invest in a 401K, you would be very wise to take it. Many employers also offer matching funds as a way to encourage employees to save for retirement. If you contribute five percent and your employer will match half of that, that is just like getting free money every paycheck. In addition, the money is taken from your paycheck before any taxes are applied.

After beening injuried I've been working with restriction by the doctor about 4 months. My employer send me home last Wednesday saying he does not have a job for me. can he do this to me?

If he has no work, he has no work. What...he's going to pay you for you looks? ADA says that the employer has to make reasonable accommodations for the handicapped employees. That doesn't mean the employer has to invent a job for you. If your injury was work-related, you're getting workman's comp anyhow.
