OPM. If these benifits aren't supplird by the employer, should they be supplied by the government?

Only in a Socialist or semi socialist state.

It is merely the government not paying for it,  the person is requried to be responsible for thier own medical care.  If they can not afford it, are there not social service or medical care for the poor.\n\nBut I can not see why workers comp should even be paying for heart medication, cannot see a relation between workers comp and heart issues.\n\nBut they only pay according to the rules of the policy nothing more, nothing less.

Ordinarily not.  However, as the other answer indicates, if the item is employment-related, then the reimbursement may be compensation.  You need to provide more information:  What is the nature of the item being reumbursed, and what are the circumstances for its reimbursement?

Employers are supposed to withhold taxes from employees if there is a certain amount paid out, and are supposed to pay their own share.\n\nHowever, even when the poor  pay all applicable taxes, they are still subsidized, particularly in education and health care, by the middle class and wealthier taxpayers.  That is why poor immigrant numbers are limited to all countries where services are subsidized.  That is why coming in above the legal rate of immigration is stealing education and health care from our citizens.\n\nThe real facts are available including what illegals pay in to the system.  This is not a novel point, although it is a valid off-set.  Look it up through your browser.

Benefits such as work benies? No. What does being a lone parent got to do with it? I mean the people you are working for are not responsible for you being a parent.\nIf you are talking state aid then ?

there should be no law on the books forcing a private company to extend services to anyone if they refuse to pay. That's just common sense.\n\nEven if the socialist government came up with such a crazy law, it would seem to follow that the government would have to compensate the company somehow. I seriously doubt it.\n\nDoesn't matter if you are blind, handicapped people don't simply recieve free shit from private companies who aren't doing a publicity stunt.

There are none. If they really need a job and the government will no longer just give them money they will work.

Absolutely NOT!  An employer should decide pay raises and benefits based on merit, job performance or evaluation of that individual.\n\nUnions do more harm than good for the company.  And most companies all the way from retail to big business offers very competitive salaries and benefit packages anyway. \n\nYou are talking about an organization form years ago when employees, both adult and children were over worked and paid very little.  It's no longer like that.  \n\nMajor transportation can come to a stand still due to "unions" wanting more benefits for the employees as a whole?  Thus putting the operation of a public utility or service in  the hands of the Unions instead of the Company.  It harms us all as a society that requires the use of public transit systems and airplanes.\n\nEven truck drivers will stop the flow of retail and food delivery.  Which can stop thousands of company's across the US and the world from providing us as the consumer with our daily needs.\n\nNext time you go to catch a plane to visit a family member and see that big "ON STRIKE" sign?  Or you live in New York and wake up one morning for your commute? \n\nAsk yourself THIS question, why does such an antiquated organization as a "Union" still exist?

You'll likely be ordered to repay any benefits you illegally collected.  I think as long as you do that, you won't be in worse trouble.  However, if you fail to do that, I'm pretty sure there are criminal penalties you could suffer.

It should be above bare subsistence, and then indexed to inflation. Then politicians would not have to seek increases every few years, and it would not matter which party was in power; people in covered jobs would have a living wage.

Legally, I am not sure....You should consult with an attorney.\n\nMorally, YES!!!!!  If you were ill and had the insurace benefit, you owe the money!  You don't think it was your employer's responsibility to pay for YOUR insuance do you?\n\nPlease don't contribute to the healthcare problem by sticking your ex-employer with YOUR insurace bill.  If everyone did this, no-one would be able to afford healthcare.\n\nThink about it and do the right thing.

Maybe your job?  This is why products cost so much.  You should get a job in government, you'd be an outstanding worker.

Depends on where you live. Here in Ontario, this is covered by the Ministry of Labour. Also, each employer should have a policy that covers this.

If you were lucky enough to create a savings for your retirement great! But for many others, living day to day on a minimal benifit is terrible.They  are our great survivors of the drought, wars, depression, etc...they have given many things in our life for us to live better. The governement should at least give them a proper income raise each year that coincide with their pay raises !!!!!

Since the firm in which you are working does not have more than 20 employees, it is outside the purview of provident fund. So you are not entitled to any PF since it was never deducted from your salary, However you may be eligible for Gratuity.

They get gst, to one government department. Another department has a budget to give out money. Beurocracy is grand isn't it.\nhere in australia, people who work for the government get paid less than people in private industry. But people who work for the government get special benefits from other departments, which make up for there lower wages, come out of a different budget and ultimately cost the government the same if not more.\nAs i said, isn't beurocracy grand.
