Employment often results in injuries due to hazardous conditions or accidents. Workers Compensation is mandated by laws and specific rules apply to the collection and award to provide payments to the employee.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no minimum time you have to be absent before you can collect worker's compensation payments, provided you are missing work due to an injury or illness related to working your position.
Can you quit your job due to health issues and then file for unemployment?
Usually you have to have a really good reason to quit your job and unemployment frowns on that - if it is a health issue why don't you get you doctors notes/forms that you will need anyway and go on sick leave or sick benefits.

I California, for example, to receive unemployment you must be able, willing, ready and available to go to work. If you had to quit for health reasons, however, you might be eligible for California's equivalent Worker's Comp, called State Disability Insurance (SDI). You could be eligible for work or even non-work related injury, illness, or pregnancy/childbirth. But you could not claim both unemployment and SDI, there. Other states may have similar programs, but you can check out California's in the Related Link below.
What are terms and conditions in Contract of Employment?
The terms are laid out in the contract. The terms would be different for each contract.
Assuming you mean an INDIVIDUAL contract, the employer and contracted employee can negotiate and agree on ANYTHING not prohibited by statute. Usually, wages, benefits, performance bonus, conditions allowing discharge, protection of company secrets, ownership of patents and copyrights developed by the employee.
Is it llegal to get married in Texas at age 14?
The first answer quoting the family code is wrong (that must be an old version because I have 2007-2008 open in front of me as I type). Trooper Davis and the other person are both correct.
Licenses may be issued to anyone over eighteen. If you are between 16 & 18 you need either parental consent or a court order (you have to notify your parent or guardian to give them a chance to appear at the court hearing). If you are younger than 16 you must have a court order or some formal legal emanicipation (court order making you an adult for most purposes, including marriage).
To directly answer the question: No, it is not legal, but having parents consent will go a long way towards getting a judge to allow the marriage.
No, in the State of Texas, you need a parent consent, or the acting guardian. Thank you. Trooper Davis, Harris County
The age is 18 without from a parent or your legal guardian. If under the age of 16, the law requires that the couple receives a court order before being allowed to marry.
Yes, it is legal to get married at age 15 in Texas with parental consent. Without consent you would need a court order, and those are hard to obtain.
From Texas Family Code:
� 2.003. APPLICATION FOR LICENSE BY MINOR. In addition to the other requirements provided by this chapter, a person under 18 years of age applying for a license must provide to the county clerk: (1) documents establishing, as provided by Section 2.102, parental consent for the person to the marriage; (2) documents establishing that a prior marriage of the person has been dissolved; or (3) a court order granted under Section 2.103 authorizing the marriage of the person.
Added by Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 7, � 1, eff. April 17, 1997.
� 2.102. PARENTAL CONSENT FOR UNDERAGE APPLICANT. (a) If an applicant is 14 years of age or older but under 18 years of age, the county clerk shall issue the license if parental consent is given as provided by this section. (b) Parental consent must be evidenced by a written declaration on a form supplied by the county clerk in which the person consents to the marriage and swears that the person is a parent (if there is no judicially designated managing conservator or guardian of the applicant's person) or a judicially designated managing conservator or guardian (whether an individual, authorized agency, or court) of the applicant's person. (c) Except as otherwise provided by this section, consent must be acknowledged before a county clerk. (d) If the person giving parental consent resides in another state, the consent may be acknowledged before an officer authorized to issue marriage licenses in that state. (e) If the person giving parental consent is unable because of illness or incapacity to comply with the provisions of Subsection (c) or (d), the consent may be acknowledged before any officer authorized to take acknowledgments. A consent under this subsection must be accompanied by a physician's affidavit stating that the person giving parental consent is unable to comply because of illness or incapacity. (f) Parental consent must be given at the time the application for the marriage license is made or not earlier than the 30th day preceding the date the application is made.

While on light duty from an on the job injury can you be terminated?
When you file forWorkman's Compensation you can be forced back to light duty work. Refuse and you will lose your Workman's Compensation. I know this from first hand experience. I was forced to work six month's after having L5 S1 BAK surgery. I was in constant pain working as a nurse while caring for new born babies. Trust me, you can destroy your back lifting 1 pound or lifting 400 pounds. If your spine is injured you are at risk no matter what amount of weight you are lifting. Whatever your injury the Workman's Compensation Insurance Carrier has complete control over your life. Until you reach the age Compensation stops, or you die, there won't be a day that passes without thought of their cruelty stressing you beyond belief. My injury date 11/22/1999. Still they control my future by denying complete payment as per a Minnesota State Court Judgement.

What compensation range are you looking for?
The amount of compensation received depends upon how serious your injuries are and what other losses you have incurred, including:
* Loss of earnings, including overtime and bonuses * Travel to and from medical appointments * Any medication * Cost of any special equipment or adaptations * Care given by members of your family or others * Damage caused to any of your personal effects At the moment i don't have a personal injury claim but if i did i would like to be looking for anything from £50,000 - £6,500,000. This amount of money would change my life. Actually the figures i gave you would be wrong as i would want more than £6.5m if i could get it.
It does depends though if your injury is a normal personal injury or a serious injury.
I hope the information above is some help to you when your thinking about your compensation amount.
If you cannot work due to a injury can you file for unemployment?
In that situation, technically you'd get disability rather than unemployment. The two are often handled through the same agency, though.
NOTE: Laws vary from state to state. You should consult with an attorney in your area. If you were represented by an attorney in the action to which your question refers, call that attorney first.
Generally, a WC settlement is the agreement that declares what your work-related injuries are, how much they are worth, and how much the insurance company has to pay.
A "lien conference" probably refers to a determination of the liens against the settlement. Those liens have to be paid from the settlement proceeds before you get your check, generally.
Can a person get fired from a job if you get hurt on the job?
The answer for this is yes and no.
You must be able to perform the essential functions of the job. If you can, then you might be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Under the ADA, an employer must try to accommodate you by restructuring the job, or providing modified equipment, or modifying the work schedule etc. But, if any of these changes are quite expensive, so as to cause an undue hardship to the employer, then the employer does not have to go along with the ADA.
If you cannot perform any part of your previous job, then, unfortunately, you can be fired.
AnswerHowever, if you are fired because you are unable to perform the duties of your job, the company may have to pay for your work-related permenant disability. Get a lawyer or talk to the Dept. of Labor. Essentially, you suffered an injury at work that incapacitated you. (Most companies would rather put you back to work than pay the settlement.)

Injured at work and still under a doctors care can i be fired?
Yes, you can be fired by a doctor or other healthcare provider. While it is illegal for a provider to dismiss you from their care for discriminatory reasons (race, ethnicity, religious practices, gender, age or disability for example), a provider may dismiss a patient for failure to pay for services, disruptive or abusive behavior towards office personnel, failure to seek or comply with treatment for substance abuse, "drug seeking" behavior, failure to comply with treatment or medical advice, frequent missing of appointments, frequent demands to be seen without an appointment for non-urgent reasons, and other behaviors disruptive to the provider-patient relationship. If a provider dismisses you from their practice, they are obligated to notify you of this in writing. They are not required to tell you specifically why the relationship has been terminated. The provider generally must give you a time frame in which to find a new provider, during which they will continue to provide care as needed, though for particularly difficult behaviors (for example: abuse of office staff or threatening to sue), they may give as little as 24 hours notice.
Can a workman's comp total disability cash pay out be garnished for payments on a credit card?
States establish the laws pertaining to exemptions that the defendant may use to protect personal and real property in a lawsuit judgment. All SS benefits and federally protected disability such as RRD are exempt; however, workman's compensation insurance is state regulated and not all states allow the entire amount to be protected against creditor attachment. It would be in the best interest of the involved party to obtain legal advice on the matter from an attorney who is knowledgeable in creditor and debtor issues.
Is my workman's compensation taxed?
Workers comp payments should be reported to you via a form 1099 which is also furnished to IRS. If payments are reimbursements for medical treatment and or travel expenses for medical treatment then the answer is no. However, if the workers comp payments are for lost wages or a lump sum settlement for permanent injury then yes, you will need to report these payments to IRS and they are to be included in taxable income for the year they are paid. Remember that IRS is furnished with the total amount paid to you by the Workers Comp agency.
According to the IRS publications under Workman's Compensation:
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.Return to work. If you return to work after qualifying for workers' compensation, salary payments you receive for performing light duties are taxable as wages.
Disability pension. If your disability pension is paid under a statute that provides benefits only to employees with service-connected disabilities, part of it may be workers' compensation. That part is exempt from tax. The rest of your pension, based on years of service, is taxable as pension or annuity income. If you die, the part of your survivors' benefit that is a continuation of the workers' compensation is exempt from tax.

Yes, you can meet and fall in love with snomeoe over the internet just as easily or if not easier than meeting snomeoe in everyday life. The internet makes it easy for people who are normally shy in person meeting the opposite sex. I am very shy when it comes to meeting or talking to men in public. The interent makes it easy for me to talk to and be myself without being nervous. As long as you take your time getting to know snomeoe and are always honest, you too can find love, no matter where you met them. Good luck
What does workman's comp cost employer?
To find out an average rate for workers' compensation insurance, each classification is translated into a dollar amount. This is then multiplied by 1 percent per $100 of the total payroll for that employee. For example, the office clerk classification is roughly $1.25 per $100. If that employee is paid $500 per week, the workers' compensation insurance for that employee will cost around $6.25 per week.
What is average work comp settlement for discectomy?
I'm not sure about the average price, but I can tell you that I've been offered $45,000 as an initial offer. I say initial since I don't plan to ever settle, and judging by their eagerness the insurance company will certainly make another offer. I'm young to have sustained such a serious injury, and I'm not about to trade in a lifetime of medical expenses for such a small amount. My current prescriptions alone over the next 35 years will cost $210,000 if the price never goes up (and it most certainly will!)
If you are reading this to see how much you can get for your disc injury, my advice is not to settle!
