Not sure about that, I have never (in 30 plus years working) seen that on my pay stubs. Contact the dept of labor in your state, and see if they can give you the answer to this. Please let me know (on my message board) if you would, this is interesting.

If your driving your own vehicle you get into an accident while driving to work are you covered by worker compensation?

  • If you were doing your job at the time of the accident you should be able to file for workers compensation for your injuries and lost time at work (depending on the laws in your state).

  • If part of your job is driving a personal vehicle and you get into a car accident do I have to use workmen's comp to cover the medical expenses? If I sue the person who was at fault for the accident how would it all work?

  • In the UK you should sue the driver responsible for the accident for all losses, expenses and any personal injuries you suffer in the RTA. This will include any medical expenses you incur which ar classed as special damages. If you have medical insurance at your work place - this may well cover the expense of your medical treatment, but this cost can still be claimed from the driver who caused the accident.

What are antitrust laws and how do they protect consumers?

First, a definition of "trust" is in order: a trust is when a group of competing businesses decide that competition isn't all it's cracked up to be, frankly, and cooperate with one another instead to set prices and availablity of their products. This is called "collusion," and it drives up costs and drives down quality. In a "free market," people who see such actions could come in, undercut the trust on price, and win major market share. Unfortunately for free marketeers, the trust members, who are colluding to control prices, remember, slash their prices wherever their new competitor tries to sell his stuff. As a result, the trust loses money on each sale, but, being much larger than the small fry trying to break in, are easily able to absorb the losses by either eating the losses outright, or, more likely, hiking prices elsewhere to cover the difference. Antitrust legislation prevents such behavior, as long as the government is willing to enforce it. Basically, consumers benefit through: * Lower prices * Higher quality * Greater availablity * More innovation Two great online resources for you to check out... http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/div_stats/1638.htm The US Department of Justice's Antitrust FAQ is one of the clearest explanations I've ever seen. (Really!) http://www.antitrustinstitute.org/links/misc.cfm The American Antitrust Institute's webpage of links to all sorts of additional information.

Do most Michigan employers offer short term disability?

It's difficult to know the percentage of employers offering short term disability. There is no state mandated program as in other states.

Short Term Disability is available to most employers as a voluntary employee benefit. Because you and your co-workers will pay the premium via payroll deduction, it's easy to get your employer to agree to offer the benefit. Your employer only needs to forward your premium to the carrier once a month.

Can you get workers comp if your policy is canceled due to monies owed from an audit?

It will probably be very difficult at best. Insurers do not want to take on an account that does not honor its financial obligations. The audit asks you to pay for the true exposure for which the insurance company was providing insurance. If someone had a payable claim, the insurer would have honored it. It is only right that you perform according to your obligations. When you don't, you appear to be a bad risk compared with someone who does. Also, many times you run the risk of making your agent pay back all the commission he or she earned when you don't pay your audit on time. If he or she worked very hard for you, that's also not good for your reputation. If costs are getting out of hand, talk with your agent about ways to save costs, and work out a plan to pay the audit. The best policy is full disclosure and an attitude of reconciliation - not abandonment.
