Is it legal for a company to force contract workers to buy worker's comp insurance?
Q. Is it legal for a company to force contract workers to buy worker's comp insurance? My company threatened all contrated workers that they will lose their contracts if they don't buy worker's comp insurance which was not a part of our original contracts. I my choices are sign up for this insurance or lose my contract, isn't this duress?
Asked by Robert C - Tue Nov 3 00:31:10 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes, it is legal for a company require to a contractor to provide worker's compensation insurance for the contractor's employees. This is to protect the company from worker's compensation claims from people who are not their employees. The contractor can NOT charge its employees for the premiums though. This is a common practice in contractor relationships. It is not duress. It's good buisness practice. If you are an independent contractor and you have no employees, you probably will not be able to buy WC insurance for just yourself. Worker's Comp is a statutory scheme. Each state has different laws. It really depends on the laws of your state. If the WC requirement is not in your contract, you may have an action for breach of contract.… [cont.]

A. Some assist in supporting victims of crime, accidents and the families. They also help people bought in with no place to live, no benefits and counseling relatives when the patient dies. Being a social worker in an emergency room , especially on night duty is a very stressful job, and you need a strong stomach and character to deal with people in a time of personal tragedy and crisis. You will deal with reporting abused children and also telling the parents. You will also have to finish your work and leave it at the door if you want to not burn out, as you will meet many people who due to circumstances, budget, time restraints and job limits you are unable to help even though you know that you were there last chance. A very important part… [cont.]

A. There may be a particular reason your job will only last 2 years, have you asked why? If your job is deleted in 2 years and you were better than average I would think you get a permanent position in a different department. Find out why it is only for 2 years and that will help you determine the possibility of it being extended.

How does a minimum wage worker with little work experience rent an apartment?
Q. I would like to quit college in order to live an independent life as a minimum wage worker. But! I don't know if the landlord would let me rent apartment when they see that I don't have much of an experience. For example, if they see that I have worked at a part time job for a few months, would they be willing to rent an apartment?
Asked by John - Fri Dec 5 23:13:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Rule of thumb: The amount you pay for rent should not exceed 1/3 of your income. Ex. If you bring home $900 p/month you should only rent a room or apartment for $300 p/month Always have at least two months worth of security deposit ready to put down for your apartment. If you can show a landlord that you have the ability to save money to cover at least two months worth of rent...they'll probably give you the opportunity to rent from them. I'm a landlord and I have no problem renting to first time renters, people with bad credit, etc. as long as they have 2 months sec. deposit.

A. Look Im so sorry is and okay thing to say. But sometimes you need to be a little more straightforwad than that. Be his rock, or just lay loose. Either way he knows you feel bad. When my grandfather died my dad was depressed. I tried to be strong for him. No matter what you say there is nothing you can do to take away the pain. It's still there. At times like this all you can possibly want is support. Look him in the eye and say "Look I cant possibly imagine what your going through right now, but know this, that im here for you and if you want to talk about anything with me just ask." If he doesnt want to talk then let it be. He will come to you for help if he wants it.

A. Your best bet would be to apply to 4-year colleges, and major in Family Studies, Developmental Psychology, or something like that. There are some colleges that offer a BSW (Bachelors degree in Social Work), so that could be a possibility for you, although this particular degree is not necessary in order to become qualified for a job in social services. After you graduate, find a job in a social services field, and work there for a year or three.

Under the HIPAA regulations, how can a social worker guarantee privacy using an interrupter?
Q. With the growing number of immigrants, many social workers may find that he or she may need to use an interrupter to assist a client. HIPAA stresses confidentiality. If the interrupter is employed by the agency, this individual would have to follow the same rules as the social worker. My concern is, if the interrupter is a family member, how can the social worker guarantee confidentiality of the client's information. There does not to seem to be any stipulations for this under HIPAA. If you know where I can find this information, please post a website.
Asked by kim51165 - Mon Jul 6 12:05:31 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. An Interrupter? Most social workers use interpreters. Interrupters would be quite disruptive. If you meant "interpreter," well, you just have to trust the interpreter. He is bound by his professional ethics. HIPPAA is just a fig leaf anyway--there are no meaningful sanctions for violation. The social worker, of course, cannot and does not "guarantee" that the interrupter/interpreter will not talk out of school. Maybe this person should take the trouble to learn the language of the country he/she lives in?

A. First, research social workers and see what kind you'd like to be. There are social workers that work for CPS. They are investigators and case managers. Public school districts also have social workers. They do some counseling with children and usually help families access services in their area. Hospitals also have social workers. Their job is usually to report to CPS if there are concerns (school social workers do this too) and to help families with services - such has finding respite care, helping new moms sign up for WIC and get free car seats. They usually don't have long-term involvement with a family. Lastly, the military hires civilian social workers for their Family Advocacy programs. They do a little informal counseling, [cont.]
