Employment Law Case Presentation
Please help with a detailed response with APA formatted
references in the following problem:
You are asked to look at two court cases. Each case should
concern one of the required benefits listed below. Each of the two court cases
discussed should relate to a different benefit. *
Note: *Most legal cases can be found in LexisNexis.
1. Workers Compensation offers insurance benefits to
employees who become ill or are injured at work. This insurance is different in
every state and is dictated at the state level. In addition, some states
require employers to purchase disability insurance.
2. Unemployment Insurance provides compensation to employees
who lose their job for no fault of their own. It is different in every state
and is mandated at the state level. The first step is to register the business
with the state’s workforce agency and that is where you’ll learn what the state
requirement is.
3. Social Security Taxes are required to be paid on
employees. The current rate for SS tax is 6.2%, which both the employee and the
employer pays, plus an additional 1.45% for Medicare tax.
4. COBRA Benefits are required for employers with 20 or more
employees who are subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA allows the employee to maintain their insurance coverage
at the employer’s group rates for a period of up to 18 months. This coverage
applies to former employees, former employee spouses, dependent children and
retirees.
[Please note that the Family and Medical Leave Act might
also be listed here. But there is no need to discuss it].
