Every year, people start talking about what they do for Thanksgiving and will be a member of the family their top list mad, I'm excited. Now, it is true, I like to see and spend time with my family, but the turkey is only a small fraction of what I'm excited. For several years, Thanksgiving Day has been to watch the ads for buying and planning our strategic attack on sales. Yes, I am a Black Friday shopper.
Now I've never stood in line for over two hours and threw myself into a bunch of super-slash-price video games but I like to get in the crowd, watching for sales and overall madness of this event once a year. This year, however, some of the sales began at 20:00 on Thanksgiving and for once, it was not a question of what time we were to get up, but we were even going in bed? This made me think of workers, many of them part-time and seasonal workers, who had to spend their own Thanksgiving holiday to prepare for us, crazy shoppers.
The number of retail stations increased during the holidays. Many of these jobs are part-time and seasonal positions. Not only are seasonal workers in stores, but they are often hired in winter to plow the roads or working in ski resorts. During the summer, they can be rented at amusement parks, construction and golf teams. If you are one of those who are hiring these workers, were you part-time and seasonal workers are most likely covered by insurance, workers' compensation in your state?
Generally, if you are full-time, part-time or seasonal employee, workers' compensation provides coverage, although you should check with your agent or insurer to be sure this is true for your own part-time or seasonal workers. It is important to be sure that all workers are aware of this cover and what to do if they are injured while working no matter how long their jobs will be.
There are some basic steps that should be followed and which will take place after an injury:
- The injured worker should report the injury promptly to their employer
- the injured worker, along with their employer must complete a first report. Injury.
- the insurance company will start their investigation by confirming coverage.
- If the request is accepted, the insurance company will contact the doctor's office to provide insurance information and authorize the treatment.
- The insurance company will send salary surveys and job description forms to the employer (even with a seasonal worker wage base is required).
- the insurance company will continue to work closely with the doctor's office for medical treatment.
- Once the patient reaches maximum medical improvement, the insurance company will get the final medical report from the doctor's office.
It is important to note all requests immediately, and that all workers understand the coverage available and appropriate actions to take following a complaint related to work. Do you employ seasonal workers or part-time? Have you ever been the one who was injured at work? What was your experience?
