Temporary Jobs

Many jobs are on a non-permanent basis, seasonal or not. Many retailers hire additional employees during the busiest parts of the retail season on a temporary basis only. Much of the work in agriculture is on a temporary, seasonal basis and often brings in large numbers of immigrants for temporary stays. Despite the temporary nature of these jobs, however, most workers are entitled to workers’ compensation for injuries on the job.

Workers’ compensation insurance is intended to cover the medical and related expenses of people who are injured while at work. Whether the job is permanent or not, or whether the employee is a citizen or not, an injury in the workplace of any kind can require workers’ compensation. An injured person is an injured person, no matter what the job in question might be.

The payments you receive from workers’ compensation are intended to cover medical expenses and time lost. Of course this is not intended to be taken advantage of, and often there will be pressure for the employee and employer to minimize the medical costs and lost time. In some cases, this can lead to conflict. Even if it does not, filing for workers’ compensation is a very complex process and it is easy to end up with less than you deserve.
