Benefits and disadvantages of cost cutting?
PROS
- A teacher sees less students during the day, thereby giving them the ability to spend more time with each individual.
- Because of the increased span of teaching time, longer cooperative learning activities can be completed in one class periods. Also, there is more time for labs in science classes.
- Students have less information to deal with over the course of a school day.
CONS
- In the modified block I taught under, teachers only saw students four times a week (for ex. Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) which means that students lost continuity on their off days.
- If a student misses a day under the modular schedule, that student is actually missing two, or sometimes even more days.
- No matter how well planned, on many days the teacher ends up with 10-15 minutes for the students to begin their homework. When all of the time is added up at the end of the semester, less information and material is covered. (Especially true in the modified block)

The time to receive payment depends on the particular jurisdiction and Workers' Compensation laws. In Georgia settlements are approved by the State Board and that process depends on how busy they are. I tell clients that once papers are signed that they could expect approval in about a month and a half. Of course it could occur earlier. At that point, it is up to the employer or insurance company to cut the appropriate check(s).

Do you need workmans comp if I am self employed?
Possibly. Your clients may require you to carry the coverage so you don't come back after an injury and claim you're their employee rather than their contractor. Though your state may provide an exemption (be sure to properly exercise the exemption if you opt to take it), there are many benefits to comp, such as lifetime medical for work related injuries. If you're hurt & can't work, who will continue to pay your health insurance premiums? Your agent can give you a quote and discuss your situation in detal to make an informed decision.

Do you get 1099 for workmans comp?
Being paid by on a 1099 basis means you are an independent contractor, basically self employed. The amounts that would be paid by an employer for his employee are now your responsibilty, like the employer portion of FICA (7.56%). However, as someone self employed, you probably aren't covered by WC protection, and certainly not Unemployment, so you won't be making contributions to it. It's probably negotiable. But just because a company pays into WC for you doesn't make you an employee. Many states are "ladder states," meaning liability follows up the ladder until someone can pay. In Texas, General Contractors are required to carry Comp for their subcontractors (who are 1099 workers) who don't have it, or remain liable if they don't (since TX is the voluntary Comp state.) If you can carry your own WC, it may make you more marketable. You can check with those you do work for before you decide.
What is the difference between an employee and an independent contractor?
A small business person may be an independent contractor, meaning only that he or she sells services for a fee, as opposed to being an employee (which is distinctly not "independent").

Clouds are important to all human history. Why? Well for one human life as we know it would be gone.

Can you sue a worker's comp company after your claim has been paid?
What would you sue them for?
If your claim has been satisfied, you have no grounds for taking them to court.
Of course, if you are dissatisfied you could always make representations to the company who paid your claim. Maybe they will reconsider. However, it is likely that they will have already asked you to sign an agreement that you would accept their settlement figure as full and final settlement of the matter. If you have already signed such an agreement, you have signed away your right to contest the matter further.
But if you haven't signed a 'full and final settlement' agreement, and if the settlement received is less than you are legally entitled to, or your claim is for something else that has not yet been settled, you can sue for anything that is still due to you.
If you feel that the settlement you have received is inadequate, seek independent legal advice.
They will be able to advise you ...
(a) if you can sue or not
(b) if it would be in your best interests to sue
(c) of the probabilities of your pursuing a successful claim, and
(d) of the possible extra costs involved in taking such action.

The applicant will receive a letter informing them that their claim has either been denied or approved. If the claim is denied the letter will include instructions on how to file an appeal.
