Workers Compensation

In most states the employer MUST carry Workmens Comp. It's the law. Check with your local wage and hour or whatever it's called in your state. Workmens Comp protects employees while on the job and pays for the medical costs when an accident occurs while at work. On the other hand, if you're talking about health insurance, employers are not required to carry medical policies for employees but many employers do because it is a good way to keep valuable employees from seeking other employment.

That was not a option for me but this is the other answer,

Because there is to much of it

they may find you employment, anywhere of similar distance from your home, similar to travel currently. The employment, MUST, be within your work restrictions. Employer is responsible to pay you at your workmans comp rate.

The workman's compensation is not obligated to the federal or state tax deductions. The business can use the workman's comp given out as a tax deduction and the individual can only attempt a tax deduction if payment has been held for an extended period of time.

Receiving WC benefits provides zero protection against being laid off or even being fired for misconduct or poor performance. The only protection is against being fired or harmed for claiming WC.

Disability income may be multiplied by 125% on a refinance, it depends on the situation but it is possible.

An employer has to pay for all hours worked. Other than that, it needs to follow its own policies about paid time off. Workers comp laws do not require the EMPLOYER to pay - they require INSURANCE to pay lost time benefits.

That is a decision made by your employer. If you are receiving benefit payments from Comp, the only deductions permitted by law are court ordered payments such as Child Support. If you have a co-pay or a benefit you want to keep, you should either make your premium payment to the company or authorize the Work Comp Carrier to deduct it from your check. Check with your HR department and find out how long you will have until they cease your benefits.

Check a website like salary.com for specific information based on your area, experience, type of employer (private corporation, airline, etc.) and certifications.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is tasked with the responsibility for collecting most federal taxes, including the Social Security taxes. Social Security taxes are deposited into the United States Treasury and credit is given to the appropriate Social Security Trust Fund. The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers the Social Security programs and distributes the benefits to eligible recipients.

The number of employees you can have before you have to provide worker's compensation varies from state to state. In the state of Georgia, if you have three or more people that are employed on a regular basis, you must provide worker's compensation.

A Security guard will earn 2000/ Dh per month from the month of July 2009.

An injury settlement is when a person pays another person money because they caused injury to them. This is done to avoid a long, drawn out trial in the court system where the judge will decide how much money will be given.

In the Philippines, teachers are often given free medical care, an allowance given on top of regular pay, depending on upon the number of teachers working at the time, and an allowance based on the number of children enrolled in the school.

It would depend on the circumstances. Did the company tell you that you had to hurt your back, are you overweight, what do you do off of work and other factors come into play.

"How much can you get" is not a great opening line if you believe you are being watched by company investigators checking the validity of your claim. It shows an entitlement mind set that juries don't like much.

My injury is cosidered log term and I have to have surgery on my shoulder. I am trying to find out what a good settlement is for this injury. I can't seem to get any straight answers. I have been out of work since Jan. and it is going to be six months after surgery before I can even consider going back to work. So I will be out of work for about 13 months. I am really concerned that I will not be able to do heavy equipment operating again. I have torn the rotor cuff in my shoulder. I would appreciate any input anyone has to help me feel alittle better about my workmen's compensation suit. Thank you for your time and help... Dwren56@yahoo.com

Whether a contractor can work under another's business license depends on the type of business license. If someone has a corporation then they can have a lot of businesses under their license.

On workers comp, I believe they have to return you to your original job. If you were out on a non-worker's comp illness, they wouldn't. If you missed time from work and/or had serious medical bills, most US employers will bend over backwards to accommodate you. If you take extra time that's not medically required under workers comp, they don't have to hold the same job for you.

The answer above is wrong. If a worker returns from FMLA leave, even if it was not for a work injury, he/she MUST be returned to the former job, even if the employer must fire a replacement to create the vacancy.

That IS NOT true under state WC. If the employer eliminated your job while you were gone, you return to no job. The employer cannot fire you BECAUSE of a WC claim, but can eliminate jobs as necessary to employer survival.

It depends on your state, the nature of your contract - and please put it in writing and have it signed, dated and witnessed if you want it to mean anything - and other factors. Are you employing him (then yes, please do!), or is he leasing your truck (then no, why would you)? If he's an independent contractor and you arrange his jobs, an alternative in most states is Occupational Accident paired with Contingent Liability. These are often cheaper and while they aren't the same as Comp, they *can* be better customized to meet your mutual needs. If he's self employed and you only lease the vehicle to him, he may only want to carry Occupational Accident (nicknamed "Occ Acc.") An independent agent can help him obtain this coverage. Check with your agent to see whether you have the proper coverage for your truck - it's not the same as lending a personal auto to someone. The rules are different.

The employer is required to provide the injured person with a "injury report/accident report" one copy for their personnel files, and one for the injured. The employer is also to provide the insured with compensation for lost wages due to the injury as well as payment for any medical bills or phamacy charges if incurred by the injured, or provide a workers' compensation insurance for the injured person. Well then, to follow that, what can an injured employee do if an emoloyer does not do these things and instead, lays that person off?

I have been lightly researching this question for several years and am about to give it much more attention. The "exclusive remedy" laws were formulated in the early 20th century, and are antiquated by any standards. I have not found a state yet that does not have an "exclusive remedy" clause in their labor code. In other words, I believe all 50 states have this "escape from liability" for employers who carry workers compensation. However, not all states require employers to carry workers compensation. In these states the employers are able to "escape liability" if indeed they do carry workers compensation.

Workman's comp will only cover you if you are on the clock. If your work demands that you have to be on call and wear and beeper and you were being called in to work, then you might have a chance for a case. If you were running an errand for the company on the clock, then you are covered. Coming to and going home, you are on your own. Sorry! ...but your employer does owe you safe ingress and egress, so if you're injured due to a fault in the premises of your work while entering or leaving, that's usually covered.
