What else can I help you with?
Can I claim mileage to and from the office, if I am an independent contractor?
Only if its work related, from home to work you cant. Hi, I'm an independent contractor myself, and I don't get mileage to and from the office. I don't think I've heard an independent contractor that claim their mileage.
Are you liable for a job when you have been fired or left the employer?
Liability falls first to the employer. However, employees who cost an employer money could be held liable if the employer files a claim in civil lawsuit or in small claims court. For example: A man is hired to work on a job install tiling in a bathroom. Though a sub-contractor, the man cuts the tiles wrongly, applies too little adhesive so some fall down, and in frustration the man smashes half the tiles. This costs the main contractor $3,000 in time, supplies, and salaries. Though he fires the man immediately, the contractor also sues the sub-contractor for the losses. As well, the homeowner files a claim against the main contractor, so as a result the main contractor in turn can sue the sub-contractors.
If you carry a ghost policy as a sub can you still file against the contractor?
No, you cannot file against the contractor if you carry a ghost policy as a sub. The only way to file against the contractor is via a worker's compensation claim.
What can you do if your Employer bullies you to not file a comp claim?
It is illegal to record someone without their permission, so allegations can be made against the employer in a legal court and if witnesses can stand forward then the judicial system will take it from there, but other than that nothing can be done against the employer. As for the claim, it is illegal for a claim to be used as a reason for firing a person, and legal action can be taken if the employer does.
Can an employer fire or lay you off you if you have a claim against them?
Possibly - probably depends on your state
Employer says i am an independent contractor but i am not no workmens comp what do i do?
Contact the WC carrier and file your claim, if you have been injured. While you sort this out, you don't want to miss the window in which you can file the claim. If you're saying the EMPLOYER doesn't have Comp - rather than saying YOU don't have Comp, contact an attorney - in fact, interview a few & compare. In many states, nicknamed "ladder states," even if you are an independent contractor, the company or person who hires you has to provide Comp if you don't have it, or remain liabile. They're called "ladder states" because liability goes up the ladder to the top guy. If you have not been injured, ask your agent about Occupational Accident coverage, which is very similar to Comp in benefits - but not exactly - and ask the company you work for why they want to list you as an independent contractor. Especially if you're in a ladder state. Your state board of insurance can help you determine if you're in a ladder state.
What steps can be taken to address a discrimination claim against an employer?

Can a homeowner insurance company file a claim against a homeowner's employee acting as a general contractor during a remodeling project?
Yes
If your employer filed for bankruptcy but owes you 15000 in back wages how can you collect?
You certainly need to make a claim against the employer to insure that you get as much of the amount as you can. Consult an attorney for help.
Can I accept property money damages from both my contractor's insurance co and my homeowners insurance?
No!! It is highly illegal for you to do this. When you make a claim on you home insurance for something that was the fault of your contractor you sign over all subjugation rights against this contractor to your insurance company. This means that if your home insurance pays any part of this claim you give them all your rights to go after the contractor, which they will do. They will go to the contractor and their insurance company to get reimbursed for any amount they paid plus costs. In most states it is considered insurance fraud for you to even try to collect damages from two places for the same claim.
Why is your employer not deducting income tax from your paycheck?
Federal and state taxes should be deducted by your employer based on how you filled out your Form W-4 when you were hired. If you claim too many exemptions on your Form W-4 it may result in no federal taxes being withheld. If you need to change the amount being deducted, you will need to fill out a new Form W-4. Contact the IRS or state tax agency for help in filling out your Form W-4. If you need a different Form W-4 for your state taxes, you may fill one out and write "State only" on the top before giving it to your employer.If your employer is refusing to withhold taxes from your pay, you can contact the IRS and submit a Form W-4 directly to them. This notifies the IRS that your employer is not complying with the law.If you are classified as a independent contractor, anyone who hires you does not make any payments on your behalf. Independent contractors are responsible for making estimated payments for their federal and state income taxes and Social Security taxes. They are also not eligible for unemployment. If you are concerned that you should not be an independent contractor, you should contact your state's employment department to determine if you are really an independent contractor or an employee (and your employer is illegally trying to save money by not classifying you as an employee).
If an insurance company writes a check for you and your contractor and you decide not to do the repairs do you have to get another check written or can the contractor sign the check over?
Do the work, the claim is going to count against you now that a check was issued. You should not have filed if you did not intend to do the work.
