By Arthur Cooper


Majority of the students usually go school to get good education that will guarantee them of an employment opportunity. The moment one finds that dream job they should try and find out the laws and regulations that govern working environments for employees and the mandate of the employer to employees. Employees should know of workers compensation Encino to look for jobs in companies which are insured.

Statistics done in city Encino reveal that no many of workers are aware or familiar with this program and hence their employers easily take advantage of them by failing to pay their medical benefits. For such employees who are not conversant with this scheme here is brief description of what it is all about. The scheme is simply a cover that employers take for their staff to protect them in the event of injuries or loss of employment.

For medical benefit, it is given to workers who get serious injuries while in line of duty while wage replacement is for those employees whose employment contract comes to an end abruptly. Failure by the employer to provide compensation to injured employee, the employee has all the right to sue that particular employer basically for tort of negligence.

The collective liability system was introduced to prevent chances of bankruptcy ever happening to employers and to ensure there is security of recompense to the employees. Collective liability guaranteed the worker of medical benefit and any other benefit as stipulated in their employment agreement with their employers. Individual or workers immunity is basically the necessary corollary simply to collective liability.

For eligibility for employee comp, one must get hired by a company with worker compensation policy, get an injury while still at work and one must have entered into a bidding agreement with their employer. Workman comp will cover almost all injuries but not all of them. Workmans comp was designed to compensate injured employees irrespective of whether the injury was caused by employee or employer carelessness.

Any eligible employee is entitled for recompense for work lost abruptly, injuries suffered and also medical bills without considering who was at fault. Once you as an employee is eligible for recompense, your right to sue your employer is foregone or forfeited. There are mainly three eligibility requirements and include being employed by a company that is duly insured, must have signed employment contract with the company and eventually all your injuries must be as a result of work or happening while at work.

Some employees may fall outside this category and such employees include those working in domestic sector, farms, loaned employees, leased and those workers working in the agricultural sector. For such employees, there are special laws or provisions enacted to suit them and protect their rights. But it is the role of the employee to find out if their company is insured or not by inquiring from the senior management.

Employers are required to work very close with their workers compensation agent basically to make sure that employee medical needs are appropriately covered and that their liability as a company is also covered. For employers in city Encino they work closely with their staff to ensure all claims are easy, correctly filed and timely.
