Workers Compensation

In Tennessee, employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance if they have five or more employees. However, if the business is in the construction industry, the requirement applies to any business with one or more employees. It’s essential for employers to understand these thresholds to comply with state regulations.

Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service, or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury.

If part of your workers' compensation reduces your social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered social security (or equivalent railroad retirement) benefits and may be taxable. For a discussion of the taxability of these benefits, see Other Income under Miscellaneous Income, later.

It depends on the state. But most youll have to be 18. Unless contracts say otherwise. *** To enter in a legal contract without your parent's consent you must be the age of majority in that juristiction. For North America this usually is between the age of 18-21. Emancapated teens may enter into contracts even if younger than the age of majority.

No, but there is a Statute of Limitations as to how long you can go on WCB and when it becomes a Disibility. Go to your Labor Relations Board about this. If you have a WCB claim then you must have hurt yourself on the job obviously. WCB has all rights to any reports from your doctor related to the accident and it's always wise every month to get your doctor to write the company a note or letter explaining why you aren't back at work. ALWAYS leave a paper trail regarding your injuries to the company you work with. If WCB is still paying you then NO company legally can let you go without trying to work with you, WCB and your doctor and try to at least place you in a job in that company that you can physically handle, but, if it doesn't look like you are able to come back to work then you need to deal with Disibility Pension. Please go onto www.google.com and go onto Workmen's Compensation Board and you'll find all sorts of information there. Good luck Marcy I was told by a WCB Judge that even if the employer did fire you because you were injured, it would be a very hard case to prove.

Case workers are assigned to all such programs to ensure that correct procedures are followed by the payer and payee. In the case of WCI the agent assigned will monitor the beneficiary's right to continue to receive benefits among other things.

For the most part the case worker is working for the state not the beneficiary (person receiving the payments).

In some states, a person may not have to pay child support while on workers comp. It will ultimately be up to a judge. All child support must be paid until a judge says so.

No. Workers compensation is completely exempt from federal tax if the payments are made under a workers compensation act for injuries occurring in the course of employment. They're also exempt from state tax. They're not included as income, so they wouldn't be reported to you on a 1099 or any other tax form.

John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie significantly shaped the American economy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Positively, their innovations in the oil and steel industries, respectively, fueled industrial growth, created jobs, and contributed to the rise of the U.S. as an economic powerhouse. However, their business practices often involved monopolistic tactics and harsh labor conditions, leading to criticism regarding wealth inequality and exploitation. Ultimately, their legacies reflect both the transformative impact of industrial tycoons and the ethical challenges posed by their pursuit of profit.

yes they can - a prime contractor holds the actual contract and then in essence hires a subcontractor to do some of the work. an independent contractor is not an actual employee of whoever is paying him for his work. so there is no reason one person can't be both and often they are

This will depend on the location and company you work for.

I can tell you from experience that in Georgia a technician (non certified) starts off at $7.50/hr. Once certified you can expect a terrible raise (approx. 15 cents).

However, at Walgreens (where I am currenty employeed) non certified tech start at $9.50. Once certified the rate goes up to $10.50. Then you can be promoted to a Senior Certifed Pharm. Tech and the rate goes up to $11.75. You then get an annual raise on the anniversary date of your last promotion.

Go to their guidance counselor for a form, then they have to get it signed by the business they wat to work for, then get it signed again by the guidance counselor. i think that's all you have to do, but its been a while since i did this. haha.

Refusal to work is when an employee refuses to perform work that has been assigned to him or her. There are many possible reasons for this, including safety, contract provisions, among other reasons.

Industrial Tribunals are like courts of law, but they deal with employment matters solving disputes between employees and employers

Tortuous liability arises from a negligence of civil duty, patent, copyright infringement or defamation. The important difference between contracted liability and this, is that anyone can claim remedy not necessarily the contracting parties.

Workers compensation is supposed to be the sole remedy if you are injured on the job. ...and unless your employer was GROSSLY negligent, you cannot sue.

In general, yes. However, as in any such suit, it is the Plaintiff's burden to prove the following elements: (1) the existence of a duty; (2) breach of that duty; (3) proximate causation (but for the breach, an injury would not have occurred); (4) compensable injuries.

Usually, such an action would be for negligence. The concept of negligence is embodied in items 1-3 above and, strictly speaking, is at odds with the concept of a legal "accident". This is because a true legal accident does not contemplate fault--it is something that happens without someone failing to adhere to a legal duty.

Another issue is that if you are dealing with a public school, there is the concept of "sovereign immunity". To make a very long story short, this generally requires the claimant to provide notice of the intention to make a claim in advance of making it. It is not the same as a statute of limitations (the limitations period for a claim against a government entity can be shorter than the statute of limitations for the same kind of cause of action against a private party).

Generally, the answer is no.

The reason is because in order to claim Unemployment Benefits, you must be seeking work - and obviously if you are in the hospital or recovering from surgery you would not be doing that.

Primary benefits include PART of lost wages (it doesn't pay 100% and has a maximum limit, depends on state), medical costs, and can pay to retrain you if you can't perform your old job anymore.

Those that are job related. For example an employer may not comment about an employee's or former employee's sexual orientation.

The fair compensation policy means the fair value of each job in the organization and clear process of reaching this fair value.

There are a number of characteristics of productivity bargaining. Some of them include bilateral negotiations, participation of workers and the management with each arguing their case and so much more.

The word RIGHT has of 33 meanings. If you are using it as "that is right" it means correct. If you say "it is on the right" it means the side of your body that is opposite from left. this list can go on and on..

See link as well as: A dwelling house or mobile home, and the lands on which said structures are situated, with a total exemption not to exceed the lesser of: (i) the total net value of the lands, mobile home, and improvements thereon, or (ii) the sum of $100,000.00. The maximum amount of wages that can be garnished in any work week is 25 percent of the debtor's weekly disposable earnings, or the amount by which the debtor's disposable earnings exceed 30 times the federal minimum wage, whichever is less. $5,000.00 for one motor vehicle. $1,000 for jewelry; $1,500 for implements, professional books, and tools of the trade; and $500 per item (not to exceed $5,000 in the aggregate) for the following items: household furnishings, goods, and appliances held primarily for the personal, family, or household use of the individual or a dependent of the individual; wearing apparel, animals, books, and musical instruments; and family portraits and heirlooms of particular sentimental value to the individual.

Texas is the only state in the nation that does not require employers to carry workmens compensation insurance for their employees. All 50 states require Workers Compensation but most if not all allow for some exemptions. However, exemptions, due to number or type of employees, for example, are from carrying insurance, NOT from liability. So before you forgo coverage, make sure you have fulfilled Texas state reporting requirements (you can't just decide not to carry it & not file as such with the state) AND can write a big check if you have a big claim - or a lot of small ones! In Texas alone, an alternative to Comp known as Non-Subscription is available, and in 47 states VOCAL is available as a short term alternative to Comp for volunteers and self employed workers in the entertainment and hospitality industries (conventions, parades, concerts, wedding receptions, football concessions, etc.) To answer your question, though - the answer is no.
