I'd like to know how you can do it!

You can get insurance for when you are off work due to illness. The SSP is to help you out and not to pay all your bills.  What should the state pay? Your broadband bill, your car costs, your credit cards, where does it stop.  It is like the Job seekers allowance.  It is there to help you out.  Trouble is so many people stay on benefit, IE young single mums, drug addicts, lazy people who have never paid into the welfare state.  Too many people expect far too much from the state.  I know a young mother who is 21 and has never worked.  She has 5 children, a council house a dog two rabbits and a seven seater MPV.  She claims a fortune every week and keeps on turning out babies so she doesn't have to go to work.  The kids have different fathers who are on state benefits and have never worked. One is married with 4 kids all fed and clothed on the state.  The woman I speak of has a babysitter twice a week provided by the state because she cannot cope with her kids.  They collect the kids and return them later in the day to give her a break.  She batters them and gets away with it.  She also goes out drinking every Friday and Saturday night. Everything in her house has been provided by the likes of you who normally work for a living. She had her first child at 14 and her language is foul.  That is why the state cannot pay you any more than 70 pounds a week.  Hands up anyone who knows of similar cases.

They are not required to pay, but they must file. From what I have seen, somehow they usually end up getting money back.

You're not entitled to anything towards expenses if you are employed. The first month is often difficult while you wait for your wage, but that's life.

It depends on your employeers policy.  There's NO law requiring comp time, and if you mean comp time as in not being paid OT then that's illegal in most cases.

You shouldn't have to use your money from your own paychecks to reward yourself.  If they want to do a reward system, it should come out of their pockets, or don't do it.  I won't particapate in the fundraisers, nor the rewards, since it is not ethical.  Is there a higher source to go to, like your boss's boss to voice your compliants in writing?

If a company runs out of money, employees have several possibile ways to collect. \n\nFirst, go immediately to the Department of Labor's Employment Securities Commission. \n\nReporting there does several things. First, you can get information on other jobs, possibly unemployment benefits, and the department of Labor has ways to force employers to pay up. If you get a paycheck that bounces, the DOL can get your money for you. It takes a while, but that's better than not getting your wages at all.\n\nAnd notify the Social Security Commission. Employers must pay your Social security taxes.\n\nAnd notify the Internal Revenue Service. Employers must pay the IRS the money they have deducted from your wages. The IRS can shut a business down and take an employer's personal assets to recoup social security, medicare, and withholding taxes for you.\n\nIf your employer is a corporation, the officers of the corporation have less accountability than the owners of a company, but the IRS has ways.

Of course they should. Would you go to work for free?

Generally, no.  Your benefits are defined and controlled by your employer.  They are under no obligation to compensate you if you opt out or don't participate in the benefits they provide, UNLESS, they have a policy or program to do so.  \n\nSome companies have developed programs to pay employees some amount to not use health care coverage - for example if they are covered by a spouse's health care plan.  Most plans like this require you to prove that you have coverage somewhere else.

Not only do they have to pay you (in full or partial in most cases) but more importantly they have to by law continue to provide your health care benefits (or the portion they usually contribute to them) This is very costly in addition they either are not getting needed work done, or have to pay for an additional person (temp employee or coworker w/ overtime) which further drives up cost of an employee being on sick leave. In many cases they have to hold your position for 3 mos (according to family leave act signed to law by Pres Clinton.) There are however, benefits to society & employers also by providing this leave, but that was not your question :)

considering the number of the population on welfare i would say no such agency exist. let me ask you, if you are hiring entry level laborers and of course paying them entry level pay, possibly minimum wage.....how does that get them off of welfare? minimum wage isnt enough to support a family without government assistant. you must have one hell of a corporation and i do applaud you taking the intuitive to make a difference in the life of some families. kudos to you.

The simple existence of unions helps all workers. Even if you don't belong to one, the reason you get benefits is because of the labor movement. Employers would never pay you to stay home, as in vacation and sick leave and holidays. Companies are interested in the bottom line: maximum profit. Therefore employees are just another overhead expense, like the electric bill. What does the company get from you when you're on vacation? Without unions, or the fear that workers might organize, employers would get away with much more than they do already. Imagine everyone fending for themselves on the job. You might make half as much as the person working next to you doing the same job. You could be fired for refusing to do something dangerous, or on a whim. If you get hurt on the job, laws fought for by unions protect you. Companies do not give workers benefits, raises and safe working conditions because they're nice people. They do it because they have to. And only about 15% of the workforce belong to a union.

That could be right.  Government employees, including employees of school districts, often do not pay social security tax and thus are not entitled to ss benefits.  Instead, many local governments opt into a PERS system -- Public Employees Retirement System.  Contact the school district to see if there are any sort of survivors benefits.

in Ca, breaks are required by law for hourly employees, though i don't believe they are required to pay for them.  Other than that, I don't see anything in your Q that would suggest a violation of CA employment law, (assuming that the benefits and deprivations are applied to all employees in the same class.  an employee class is a recognized definable group.  this is commonly based on FT versus PT, or hourly versus salaried.  all bets are off with salaried employees.  you're best off getting a copy of the labor code for the state where you live, or asking someone who is familiar with it.  also note (again, in CA) that different industries are affected by different groups of laws.

It sounds unfair, since you're there for the employer's benefit.  I would check with your state's Labor Department.
