Workers Compensation

Absolutely and must be paid by the employer only! However, if you are being paid "under the table," of course that's a different matter altogether! I have been told however that it may be a different story in Texas, but I do not know if that is still the case.

The amount that one can get for a torn acl is not a set amount. It depends on the severity of the injury and the rate of pay before the injury.

Yes you must file a tax return, reporting all income from whatever source.

In order to win a back injury betterment there must be medical evidence that shows sign of injury. Keep all medical records, costs of pain medications, and out of pocket expenses related to the injury for proof of pain and suffering.

It varies by state. In Arizona, you must carry coverage if you have even one employee. You should contact the Industrial Commission (or whatever it's called in your state) to verify whether you need coverage or not.

You are paid a percentage of your weekly earnings, if you are paid for that day normally then you would be paid.

Perhaps. In the US states establish WCI laws and requirements, that being the case eligibilty guidelines will differ somewhat from state to state. Generally an employee will be covered if they are performing any type of activity directly connected to the occupation that results in injury, illness or death. That is, of course, assuming that the employer is required under state law to partipate in the WCI program.

You do have to cooperate in filing a claim by providing certain basic information.

The sole proprietorship is the oldest, simplest, and most common form of business entity. It is a business owned by a single individual. For tax and legal liability purpose, the owner and the business are one and the same. The proprietorship is not taxed as separate entity. Note that the earnings of the business are taxed at the individual level, whether or not they are actually in cash. There is no vehicle for sheltering income. For liability purposes, the individual and the business are also one and the same. Thus, legal claimants can pursue the personal property of the proprietor and not simply the assets used in the business.

As of January 1st 2009 the rate for reimbursement is .55 cents per mile.

Its either a credit or a debit.

Some carriers will credit a WC policy based on loss experience or any other factors that would give the carrier insight as to why the insured deserves a credit.

A debit on the other hand, is applied to the WC policy to collect more premium to cover any expected losses... this is typically based on past performances.

How long does a person have to reopen a workers comp case??

Yes. States do allow a person, who has the proper work history and qualifications for unemployment benefits, to start a business, but only under certain conditions and reporting earnings in the meantime. Contact your employment security office for more details.

Generally, most states allow you to hold a part time job and still collect unemployment, provided you report your earnings and accept a modified benefit. You should be able to resume eligibility on your original claim.

No, they are very different.

General liability covers non-employee visitors to the workplace; consider it slip-and-fall insurance.

Workers compensation coverage is only for workers in the course and scope of employment, even if working away from the shop.

Stated otherwise, you might want to think of general liability insurance as "third-party" coverage; it provides benefits to third-parties who or which may be injured by the negligence of the insured or by those for whom the insured is legally responsible. In that sense, it is similar to other forms of liability insurance. It provides both indemnity benefits (usually, it pays on behalf of the insured those damages for which the insured is legally liable), and it provides a defense, meaning that the insurer is responsible for hiring and paying a lawyer to defend the insured. In return, the insurer gets to direct the defense (determine strategy, decide whether or not to settle, etc.).

In contrast, workers compensation insurance is provided by an employer for the benefit of employees, and is typically required by law (although different states have different rules as to how many employees are required to make workers compensation coverage mandatory). For the most part, workers compensation benefits are the sole remedy of an employee who is injured within the course and scope of his/her job duties. Again, for the most part, workers compensation benefits are payable to the employee without regard to his/her fault for the occurrence. The benefits consist of a percentage of the employee's lost wages and payment of medical expenses. The employee or the worker's compensation insurer usually has the right to control the medical care that is rendered.

if on nys unemployment, if sick, should you say no work that week and say workman's comp?

Employer is trying to remove money from our paychecks because of a mistake made when checking a patient in. They are trying to charge us for the total cost of the exam, is this legal?

They don't have to pay you bi weekly. They can pay you every week or once a month. Usually most workman's comp is bi weekly.

When you draw workmen's comp they have spies who watch you to see if you are able to do certain things. They might have pictures of you taking out the trash or doing some other things you aren't supposedly able to do. If you are sure you haven't done anything, you could hire a lawyer and fight the firing.
