Clarification of Workmen's Compensation Insurance.
Shapley, Allen E.
This document attempts to answer questions resulting from the 1972 Michigan Supreme Court Ruling relative to agricultural employees under the Workmen's Compensation Act (WCA). The sections of this paper outline a history of the WCA; employers covered; definition of "regularly employ"; clarification of "thirteen weeks"; employees (minors, partners, spouses, where, when); custom hire contracting; attempts to avoid the law; insurance carrier's obligations; employers protection from other actions by employees; when the law does not apply; cost; unemployment insurance vs. workmen's compensation insurance; employee's claim procedure; employee benefits; compensation rates; and what to do when a controversy arises.
