In a workers’ compensation case, providers often finance services for an injured worker and file a lien with the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.[ SOC §15.90] This is essentially a stake or interest in the final indemnity award.[ Kaiser Foundation Hospitals v. WCAB (Keifer) (1974) 39 CCC 857, 859.] These types of claims are a peculiarity to California. Additionally, they often take a form of their own. They even have their own separate proceedings. In part, SB863 was passed in 2012 to reduce litigation involving liens.[ (Stats. 2012, ch. 363, §§ 63, 70.)] Due to the nature of these claims, the California system experienced a massive backlogging. Essentially, the main disputes stemming from lien claims are how much the provider should be…

Many employers have been baffled as they attempt to sort through the overlapping obligations created when a sick or injured worker's medical condition triggers the different rights and responsibilities under new federal laws. If businesses want to avoid costly lawsuits from disgruntled employees it is essential to understand their responsibilities under the laws. Employers must make a two-part analysis to determine which laws apply to the situation. Just because an employee qualifies under one law does not mean the employee will automatically qualify under another. To reduce problems, employers should give injured…

From what I understood of the reading about the federal workers compensation plans are used so if the employee becomes injured on the job and has to miss work because of their injuries or if they become in contact with a certain kind of disease while they are on the job working. There are four different kinds of programs that are used for the particular type of work the employee is involved in.

InterClean will create a new compensation plan and the goal is to reward sales success while motivating increased sales performance and providing a competitive, yet affordable reward levels. Rewards bridge the gap between organizational objectives and individual expectations and aspirations. To be effective, the new reward system will provide (1) a sufficient level of rewards to fulfill basic needs, (2) equity with external labour market, (3) equity within the organization, and (4) treatment of each member of the organization in terms of his or her individual needs (Casio, 2005). The compensation plan will be tied to the company`s strategic mission which means that a combination of merit system (designed to tie pay increases to each employee`s level of performance) and incentive system (designed to provide additional rewards to top performers) will be used. The broad objective of the design of this compensation strategy (i.e., financial and non-financial compensation) is to integrate salary and benefits into a package that will encourage the achievement of the organization`s objective (Casio, 2005). The new rewards package will consist of two components:…
