Is general liability ins the same as workers compensation?
No, they are very different. General liability covers non-employee visitors to the workplace; consider it slip-and-fall insurance. Workers compensation coverage is only for workers in the course and scope of employment, even if working away from the shop. Stated otherwise, you might want to think of general liability insurance as "third-party" coverage; it provides benefits to third-parties who or which may be injured by the negligence of the insured or by those for whom the insured is legally responsible. In that sense, it is similar to other forms of liability insurance. It provides both indemnity benefits (usually, it pays on behalf of the insured those damages for which the insured is legally liable), and it provides a defense, meaning that the insurer is responsible for hiring and paying a lawyer to defend the insured. In return, the insurer gets to direct the defense (determine strategy, decide whether or not to settle, etc.). In contrast, workers compensation insurance is provided by an employer for the benefit of employees, and is typically required by law (although different states have different rules as to how many employees are required to make workers compensation coverage mandatory). For the most part, workers compensation benefits are the sole remedy of an employee who is injured within the course and scope of his/her job duties. Again, for the most part, workers compensation benefits are payable to the employee without regard to his/her fault for the occurrence. The benefits consist of a percentage of the employee's lost wages and payment of medical expenses. The employee or the worker's compensation insurer usually has the right to control the medical care that is rendered.
Can a worker opt out of workers compensation insurance?
Workers' Compensation varies from state to state, so you really need to check what your local state law allows.However, as a general rule, if you are injured on the job and DO NOT file for Workers' Compensation benefits, the "exclusive remedy" rule that bars your bringing a private tort claim does not apply.Employers are keen to have employees report ANY workplace incident right away. This does help documents when and where such accidents happen, but it also ends an important legal right the employee might have available to them.There is no duty to disclose what legal rights a worker is surrendering when they are filing a claim for Workers' Compensation benefits. In incidents where serious injuries are sustained, a worker could easily lose valuable legal rights by applying for Workers' Compensation benefits before consulting legal counsel.

Can an employer take away longevity pay after it is earned?
Whether an employer can take away longevity pay after it has been earned depends on various factors, including the terms of the employment contract, company policies, and local labor laws. In some cases, if longevity pay is considered a benefit or part of compensation that is guaranteed, it may not be legally permissible to revoke it. However, if it is discretionary or based on specific conditions, an employer might have the ability to modify or eliminate it. Employees should consult their employment agreements and seek legal advice if they believe their rights are being violated.
