When an issue involves two corperate bodies and one of the bosses takes a wrong decision that was executed by a junior worker, who takes the blame, during fact finding. The boss or the jnr. worker?

Yes, a company is responsible in most cases when you are laid off. They are obligated to pay your unemployment. If you were hurt on the job, they are responsible for Workman's comp.

I don't know the answer.....\nbut if you were driving for JB Hunt (rig) at the time maybe you can be considered to have been in a cult and get de-programmed by a psychiatrist, and that might help with your record.\n-----\nedit\n-----\nOK do what the others recommend.  Remember for the record though, if you're working too many hours and with a job that requires driving, YOU MUST cover your buns with both hands and all ten fingers because it's you in the end that catches all h-e-double hockey sticks.  I mean did your employer step up to the plate when it all came down and say ,"Well yes we made this person work too many hours by threatening his life and therefore we feel that we are responsible for the negligent homicide."?

Our legal system is based in English law, My question to you is how do you differentiate between a frivolous lawsuit and one that has merit. If a Dr. cuts off the wrong leg shouldn't he be held responsible for it. I know that is extreme, but some company's put out dangerous products and without a warning some people would get hurt. How do you best decide who is responsible if not in a court of law. I admit some lawsuits are just plain wrong, but how would you suppose that it be decided.

It depends on the state.   In general they are not guaranteed the same job, though some states require "comparable" work.  If there was an industrial injury, there is often light-duty work before the employee is ready for his or her old job.\n\nIn most cases, employment is at will, and the employer can re-assign or terminate employees at any time unless there is a contract to the contrary.

They wouldn't take you serious if you left, and told them,  they would think you were just mad ex-employee. go to the Boss, in strictest of sincerety and confidence and state your observations, let him decide. Then, if you don't like the way they handle it, then leave and report it to higher authority until it is resolved. Never watch an injustice, at least try to make it better.

Only 1.  Emergency rooms fill up and they don't need extra bodies hanging around.  If the person's manager is available, that's best for the purposes of Workers Comp papers.  Otherwise, whoever was there as a witness.  The Workers Comp paperwork can be completed later if needed.

Why is this a party issue? This is about an unfortunate accident. Lives are changed and someone may die. Responsibility will fall where responsibility lies. I lost a friend in college when a distracted driver hit her head on and killed her. He didn't do it intentionally yet he was held responsible. Harry Whittington's family deserves the same. Plus, conservatives can see the ethical challenges Cheeney has always faced.

Under the represive Workplace Relations Act your boss sack you without any reason.\n\nI suppose that's what you get when you voe in a represive facist right wing government, that's what you get when you vote for Howard.

There is a point of law which states that "you knew or should have known".  For instance, as a CFO, you have the legal obligation to know if a financial statement is fraudulent, even if you didn't prepare it.  Under the SOX act of 2002, you can be jailed for signing a financial statement if is is false, even if you didn't know it was false.  This puts the burden on the CFO to  actually do his or her job.\n\nThe same goes for HR executives.  If someone is being harassed, they are responsible for taking action.  If they don't, they can be personally sanctioned.

Ideologically, the criminal. In the real world however, this is practically impossible. This is due to natural bias' the occur from judge to judge. That is, it would be hard to have fair and balenced judgements with various opinions making those decisons.

my guess would be the United States Government (USG)\n\nevery person or entity is responsable for it's own actions, whether they be good or bad.

you can tell HR and they will know youare moaner with no proof.  you got to have real solid evidence which you dont have.  so start sticking up for yourself.  tell hi loudly in fornt of everybody " I am not your cutie pie so back off you old fart.  if he sits by you get up and move.  give him and every person in the room the clear idea that your to good to put up with his sickness.    You gotta fight your own wars nobody can do it for you.  Then when your boss ask whats going on tell her or him.  \n\nbut if you go complian about it without taking any action first they will think "oh brother her comes a new trouble maker", and think you are over reacting becasue you are.

depends on your position. if you're in management it would be your responsibility perhaps to set the record straight. by law you're allowed to see your employment file and i would most definitely look at it to see if there's anything in there. if it was me i would keep quiet and then start looking for another job on the side. if you decide to leave, at your exit interview i would definitely say something. if it's a co-worker that put you in that position i'd be tempted to confront them one on one. if it involved something illegal such as covering up for someone who abused you or someone else there are strict laws for that in the workplace and if you don't say something you'd be as guilty as they are.
