What is the right compensation balance?

  • Written by NewsServices.com

The right compensation balance for you can be very different depending on what case you’re seeking compensation for, the particulars of your case, and the law. However, there are some general facts to keep in mind.

Wrongful termination cases and compensation

Wrongful termination cases only go anywhere when your employers fired you for an illegal reason, discrimination based on your ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, disability, etc.

If your boss terminated your employment because they didn’t like you, what you posted on social media, or are just generally unfair, the case might not get very far.

Overall wage loss also factors in heavily into what sort of compensation you might see from settling a wrongful termination case. Your current salary/ wage and early potential are also factored in during the ruling.

Compensation for worker benefits

If you've been injured on the job, you are usually paid out several compensations to support yourself and pay for your bills while you recover. There are four types of benefits you are entitled to when you get injured on the job.

  • * Weekly compensation

  • * Permanent impairment benefits

  • * Recovery of medical bills

  • * Vocational rehabilitation

Weekly compensation and benefits are paid out based on the level/severity of the damage the client has experienced.

Disability is classified into temporary or permanent, or total or partial.

Temporary disability means that the employee is recovering and is expected to make a recovery eventually. Permanent disability means that the employee might not make a full recovery.

When a client falls in the total disability camp– they can no longer work at their former job or any type of labor-intensive job. They are forced to work or operate at a light or sedentary pace.

For How long and how frequently are they paid?

Workers who have been injured on the job and are eligible for total disability normally receive about ⅔ of their wages pre-injury. That includes overtime too. Depending on the particulars of the case, the client might be eligible up to 52 weeks after the accident.

Clients who have suffered permanent impairment are paid with a very different set of rules and benefits. Complete loss of limbs might provide the client with up to $100,000.
