Is Illinois workman's comp taxable?
Hi~
It is my understanding that no Workman's Compensation "benefit" is taxable - regardless of what state.
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.
If part of your workers' compensation reduces your Social Security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered Social Security benefits and maybe taxable.
If you return to work after qualifying for workers' compensation, payments you continue to receive while assigned to light duties are taxable.
The above relates to federal income taxes. Generally, states follow the same rule, but you should check with your state's department of revenue for additional information.
My employer did.My sick time was used up for the first three months I was off work.You may be able to recover this time if you have an attorny. If your employer did this, he probably did it with your best interests at heart since Comp doesn't pay 100% of your salary and your sick time probably is 100% of your salary (unless you're paid tips & commission.)

Try the workers compensation board for the state you live in. Be careful though, be sure it is fraud and not anything else.

However, if it is true, they will investigate it and try to recoup the monies due for fraudulent compensation funds.

Do employers have to have workmen's compensation for employees in Illinois?
All 50 states require Workers Comp though most if not all have exemptions. Most if not all states allow you to self-insure if you have enough cash to set aside. Even if you exercise an exemption, you remain liable, so make sure you have plenty of cash for work-related injury claims if you don't carry coverage. Also, even if you don't think your employee would sue, their spouse or minor children who have to get through life on your employee's reduced salary if he has a major injury, or without his salary and companionship if he dies, may present an issue. In short, yes, please carry Comp or a Comp alternative. For specifics in Illinois, please contact your Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Insurance, at 217.782.4515 or www.ins.state.il.us/default2.htm.

The law contains provisions on employer coverage; employee eligibility for the law's benefits; entitlement to leave, maintenance of health benefits during leave, and job restoration after leave; notice and certification of the need for FMLA leave; and, protections for employees who request or take FMLA leave. The law also requires employers to keep certain records. FMLA applies to all:
- public agencies, including state, local and federal employers, local education agencies (schools) and
- private-sector employers who employed 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year and who are engaged in commerce or in any industry or activity affecting commerce þ including joint employers and successors of covered employers.

- FMLA leave may be taken intermittently whenever medically necessary to care for a seriously ill family member, or because the employee is seriously ill and unable to work.
If hired what is desired salary?
Desired salary is the salary that you would like to make if you are hired for the position. Some believe it is best to write "open to negotiation" because if your desired salary is too high you might not be considered for the position and if it is too low then you had a chance to make more money.
