Wedding ring cost?

Wedding rings and engagement rings vary in price and is heavily dependent on the diamond that you purchase. Average bands/settings (which only include the gold/silver/platinum), usually cost around $1500. Research the cut, clarity, colour and carat diamond that you want and ask your local jeweller for a range of what diamonds could cost based on that. Put those two amounts together and it will give you what your ring will cost.

In the UK wedding or engagement rings can cost as little as £50 to upwards of £20,000. Ultimately your budget, be it finance or cash will be the determining factor as to how much the ring will cost.

How much does workers' compensation cost the employer on average?

Workers Comp insurance costs depend on several factors, such as location, number and amounts of claims each year, the owner and manager's experience and the kind of work impact rates. It also depends on the coverage limits, endorsements, deductibles and the overall claims history of that class of business with the chosen insurance company. Because 2 very similar companies in the same business can have very widely different pricing based on these factors, averages for all companies is not tracked - and it's not meaningful. By that I mean that the average cost for all employers means nothing to someone who only has 1 office employee or a group of workers in a call center to compare Work Comp costs with companies who employ skyscraper window washers or ice road truckers.

Exercise care when excluding anyone, yet note that many officers and executives or other highly paid individuals may wish to be excluded because they're comfortable with the health plan, the lost wages benefits payable under Comp may be extremely low in comparison with their wages. In these cases, employers should consider providing Occupational Accident coverage at limits satisfactory to those workers. Employees can through proper procedures legally opt out of Comp at anytime for any reason in any state, though employers may be required to make it available.

What is wage ceiling for workman compensation?

Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 becomes Employees with enhanced compensation limits, full medical expenses reimbursement, case disposal within 3 months, etc..& also applicable to casual & clericals, the said amendment which has removed the ceiling of monthly wage limit of Rs.4,000 for the purpose of calculation of Maximum Compensation under the Act is now amended again.

Now, a new monthly wage ceiling limit of Rs. 8000 is introduced for the purpose of calculation of 50% of it during computation of Maximum compensation under the Act. Hence, the maximum compensation can go UPTO 50% of 8000 which comes to Rs. 4000/- that shall be multiplied by Age factor. Thus, effectively it was erstwhile 50% of Rs.4000 and now it is 50% of Rs.8000/-. This amendment is notified vide Central Government Notification No. S.O. 1258(E) vide Ministry of Labour & Employment dated 31st May 2010.

What should you not do after carpal tunnel surgery?

Wow that is a really open ended question and depends if you are 1 wk post-op vs 8 wks post-op?

How does the courts differentiate between an employee and and independent contractor?

Courts don't make the decision, law does.

There are federal DLSE/Dept of Labor Standards and Enforcement, IRS rules, and state mandates providing the definition of independent contractor vs employee.

Generally, if you are an employee, you would see tax deductions on your check stubs, and a W-2 at the end of the year.l

If you are a valid/legal independent contractor, you would receive a 1099. There are very specific rules for both.

The answer above is wrong in every way. Courts often need to rule on whether worker X was an employee or not. How the employer pays you is irrelevant to decisions about whether a worker is an employee. IRS and USDOL rules are the factors that courts follow.

What should you do if a workmen's comp doctor wants to send you back to work before you think you're ready?

If the doc says it is time to return to work, then it is time to return to work -- or lose WC benefits. Simple question, simple answer. If you still believe you are not well enough to work, get another opinion from another doctor to refute the WC physician's findings. But keep in mind there is a difference between being INABLE to work because of injury and not WANTING to work because an injury makes it more difficult to work.

How do you get compensation for contractors stealing your things?

Sue the contractor. I suggest small claims court--it is fast and easy, requires no lawyer, and is quite inexpensive. You can easily complete the papers yourself. If the amount of the theft exceeds small claims, see an attorney in your area (look in the phonebook for one who gives free consultations). Remember that the contractor has a bond if he is licensed, so any judgment entered in your favor could easily be collected.

If you had surgery and can not work can you collect unemployment?

Might be eligible for Workman's Comp: If the surgery was due to working conditions you might be eligible for workman's compensation, but this is not the same as unemployment. To be eligible for unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, available and ABLE to work, and if you said you could not work, then you are not eligible.

If the injury occurred while on the job, you probably are eligible for Workers Comp. Whether not being able to work, otherwise, the claim would depend on the rules of your state's employment security office.

Might be eligible to collect unemployment:

I'm not certain that's entirely true. If he/she is laid up in bed, then in all likelyhood they would not qualify. It all depends on the nature of the injury/recovery. If, however, they were able to perform modified duty such as sitting in a chair doing data entry, then they would be willing to work. If their specific job does not provide for that type of light duty or there are no available positions to fill, he/she may be entitled to unemployment.

i.e. Willing to work, able to work, no work available. Provided they are still employed by the same company.

Are workmans compensation settlements taxable?

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.

Go to the IRS.gov web site and use the search box for Publication 525 Taxable and Nontaxable income
