Workers' Compensation In Georgia Municipal Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Sep 1980

Workers' Compensation In Georgia Municipal Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

For the last sixty years, workers' compensation has constituted a distinct subject of administration in Georgia municipal government and, consequently, a distinct subject of controversy in Georgia municipal law. Of course, many of the problems, issues, and solutions ar ethe same, whether the covered employment be municipal or private in nature. Still, municipal law possesses its own quagmires, quandaries, and conundrums; some of those peculiarities can yield unique questions regarding workers' compensation. Whether general or unique, the appellate courts have rendered a number of decisions on the subject, and those decisions make for yet another compact chapter in Georgia municipal …

Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review Dec 1968

Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Employment of the handicapped is clearly a proper concern of the state. Unemployed, such a person is a burden on his family and on the state; welfare and relief payments to such a person needlessly increase costs to both the state and local governments supporting such programs. Employed, the handicapped person is a self-supporting, stable member of the community; he becomes a taxpayer rather than a tax consumer. There are also important moral and social considerations which may be simply summarized stating that no person who is able to work should be needlessly denied employment. In short, any continued waste …

Unemployment Compensation For Employees On Required Vacation Without Pay, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Social Security Act of 1935 created a federal-state system of unemployment compensation which permits the states to establish their mvn standards of qualification for unemployment benefits.

Second, he must remain able to work and available for work. Third, he must be free from disqualification for such acts as voluntarily leaving work without good cause attributable to the employer or employing unit, discharge for conduct connected with the work, …

Admiralty- "Twilight Zone" In Workmen's Compensation - Pursuit Of State Common Law Action Against Employer, James S. Leigh Jun 1959

Admiralty- "Twilight Zone" In Workmen's Compensation - Pursuit Of State Common Law Action Against Employer, James S. Leigh

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner was injured on his employer's barge moored in navigable waters while assisting in a loading operation. The employer was insured solely under the Federal Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Act. Instead of pursuing the remedy available under the federal act, petitioner brought the common law action authorized by state workmen's compensation legislation in the state courts. The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed judgment for the employer on the ground that the injury was covered exclusively by the federal act. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed per curiam, two justices dissenting. The injury was incurred within the …

Michigan Law Review

Deceased was employed by defendant as an engineer and, while waiting to relieve the engineer then on duty, began to quarrel with him as to the manner in which a subordinate was doing his work.
