Workmen's comp? |
Can an employer charge a fee to an employee for workmen's comp insurance? I don't think so. Worker's compensation is the employer's responsibility. But some jurisdictions could have weird laws. The address of your nearest Worker's Comp office should be posted on the company billboard. Get it and give them a call with your question. Personally, I'm not sure. But I would contact the Labor Board in your state to make sure. Good luck!! Not in my state, California. In California, any business with employees must have workers' compensation coverage. Otherwise, they are subject to penalties, or even being shut down, by the Department of Labor. If an employee is injured, the State of California (UEF) will go after the uninsured employer for compensation made to the injured employee in benefits and treatment. The fee is the one charged by the state ( SDI ) most states anyway, but if they provide another WC supplement and you are covered, yes they can charge OR call HR / payroll and see if you have the option of declining . You can only decline supplemental , not state primary . Some state like alaska, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island and maybe California requires employee to cough up a bit for unemployment compensation taxes. Best to check with your state department of labor to verify my facts. Laws are subject to change without notice. From my payroll class text book. No. You can report the violation to your state department of labor. |
