Workers' Compensation

摘要

It's not as easy as - buy product, display prod-uct, sell product, make money. The hidden costs and legal nuances of doing business are difficult to understand and easy to neglect. All members of the craft industry supply chain - manufacturers, distributors, chains, independent retailers - must dedicate some attention to employee issues. From health insurance to fami- ly leave, there are many types of human resource matters that, if not addressed properly, can cost you money. Workers' compensation is one such issue. Remedially defined, workers' compensation laws are designed to protect the employee who may sustain an on-the-job injury or illness. While it is best to do so right when it happens, employees have up to a year to notify their employer about any job-related injury or illness. The laws provide the employee money (compensation) to pay for medical expenses and replace lost income if they become injured or ill from a job-related activity. This does not assume the employer is negligent, And the employee collects even if the employer is not at fault.
