From the Paper
"When an individual is pursuing a new position in the workforce there are many criteria that he/she should consider before accepting a new position. Often we look at pay scale alone and overlook other elements, which should be important to our overall fulfillment within a potential job. These elements should not only be included but should play an important role in we accept and decide to keep a specific position. In addition to this, whether you need them or not, health care is an extremely important benefit which employers must try to provide. Regardless the employer should not try to gain the smallest amount of compensation in order to gain an employee but should be fair in his benefits package as well as his salary offerings. Philosophy: Obviously employers want the best of the best, but this is often difficult to see just from the interview and resume process."

Explains the United States system of workers compensation, the process of workers compensation that existed prior to the current system, the criteria that must be met by an employee before he can make a claim for workers compensation, and the benefits now offered by the system. Also discussed are some of the problems of the current workers compensation system.
From the Paper
"For example, typical legal language states that in order for an injury to be covered, the harm suffered by the employee must have been caused by an "accidental personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment." Those few words, in this example from the Maryland Worker?s Compensation law, are the subject of many court decisions and interpretations. Not all injuries are covered by a Workers' Compensation Law even if the injury happened "on the job." Just because a person is hurt "while working," "on the job" or "at work" may not be enough for the insurance to apply."

Compensation and benefits are an important factor in the motivational theory models used in organization."

Abstract
The paper discusses how companies use compensation as a means of employee motivation. The paper examines various methods of worker's compensation, including 'equity-based' compensation plans, wherein ownership of the company is offered to the top workers of the company. The paper further examines incentive plans such as 'profit-sharing', wherein the company will undertake to donate a small percentage of its pre-tax profits to a savings pool, which would later on be divided among deserving employees. The paper concludes that a good compensation plan leads to better employee motivation, and increased efficiency, output and productivity.

Definitions of Compensation
Goals of compensation
Different types of compensation plans generally used by a company
Methods generally used to determine compensation
Why do compensation packages differ?

From the Paper
"As far as human resources are concerned, compensation refers to the pay structures within any particular organization. Some of the primary issues regarding compensation are: how much is a company to pay a worker, in order to attract him, and then keep him, and then keep him completely motivated so that he does not move over to another company. Must the company offer to pay the employee a salary, or rewards? Must the company pay benefits to its workers, and if so, what must be the amount, and how exactly must it be paid? Can there be a distinct difference regarding the pay scale for high performers, as compared to that of lower performers? Would it be a better idea if the company were to provide stock options and stock bonuses for the employees of the company?"

Outrageous CEO Perks
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Very few if any CEO's are capable of turning around a failing business on their own; it requires the assistance of every employee. The first to feel the pressure of the failing company is the employee who is given a pink slip. At the same time, the CEO is collecting a salary that could be up to 500 times greater than the common worker. The question becomes does the CEO value his workers? The answer would have to be no, as long as he continues to collect on their parachute even after the company goes bankrupt.The fairness to workers who have lost jobs or had pay levels or benefits reduced in some form while the CEO's are receiving these exorbitant amounts has become an ethical issue. The Golden Parachute has become so lucrative for CEO's that the IRS has developed the Golden Parachute Audit Techniques Guide (Bailey, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper discusses current workers' compensation reform. The problem presented in this paper is that although reform measures like Senate Bill 899 have had a positive effect on workers' compensation, particularly to making it more efficient, it has had a substantial effect on the way workers' compensation is done. However, reform also means that the workers' compensation practitioner has to make internal adjustments. This paper first presents an overview of the specific changes created by Senate Bill 899 and, second, makes specific recommendations as to practice changes that the workers' compensation practitioner will have to abide by in order to continue to have a profitable and compliant workers' compensation practice. The paper focuses only on the changes created by Senate Bill 899 as they effect the attorney and practice of the plaintiff's side of workers' compensation.

I. Introduction
A. Background
B. The Problem
C. Purpose
D. Scope
II. Overview of Senate Bill 899
III. Effects of Senate Bill 899
A. Procedural Changes
B. Financial Impact
C. Retraining Issues
D. Penalties for Noncompliance
IV. Conclusion
From the Paper
"Senate Bill 899 was enacted as a means to attempt to save jobs, reduce the costs of carrying workers' compensation insurance for employers, and improve the overall care available for the injured workers. The law was passed by the legislature with overwhelming, bipartisan support and was signed into law on April 19, 2004 by Governor Schwarzenegger. In summary, the reforms provided by Senate Bill 899 focuses primarily on controlling the ever-escalating costs of medial treatment. At the time of the bill's passing, medical costs accounted for fifty-one percent of every dollar and indemnity benefit, which accounted for forty-nine percent of every workers' compensation dollar spent. These expenses had all significantly risen over a period of less than ten years. For example, in 1997 it was estimated that California employers paid a total of $3.4 billion dollars in indemnity costs. By 2003 this number was at an estimated $5.8 billion. In 1997 an estimated 2.6 billion in medical costs was paid, whereas by 2003 the number had increased to $6.1 billion. Finally, the total costs spent by all California employers on workers' compensation (indemnity, medical, etc.) was at an estimated $8.3 billion in 1997. By 2003 this number was at an estimated $26.7 Billion. It was this problematic trend that Senate Bill 899 was aimed at reversing, or at least controlling."

"The avenue that began as a small way has come to occupy the biggest legal money making methodology since greenhorns in dotcom companies were offered stock options during times when the going was good. Things cannot get worse than this. Subsequently, not to be left behind, auditors also joined the party. Because of this, it is found that companies that have never shown profits are quoted at fantastic prices. The bane of all this has been the stock option plan and the sooner it is abolished, the better. The CEO should be paid bonuses solely on the net profits he shows as a result of his performance. This is because the CEO is a paid professional and never an investor or a speculator. Any conflicts of interests must not be present. In case he is desirous of owning company stock then they must purchase at market prices just like any ordinary shareholder does with his personal finances. If this is not done, nothing can stop the CEOs in their pursuit of looting the corporation, albeit legally through ESOPs. (Executive Compensation)"

Workers Compensation Insurance, 2005.
A look at this system, including benefits and problems.

Abstract
Workers' compensation is governed more directly than some types of insurance by state requirements. The paper explains that any decision regarding workers' compensation in the future will need to account for the current problems for both workers and employers. It discusses how allowing workers' compensation to be addressed through collective bargaining would, at last, bring both sides into the process, though it might slow down that process and would not solve the problems of the system. The system has to be made solvent while continuing to provide needed money to insured workers. It concludes that eliminating fraud is an essential step to assuring that the system has the money it needs and spends it in the right way.
From the Paper
"One of the benefits HR managers can offer is health insurance, and the workers' compensation insurance differs in that it is not for normal health issues but for accidents on the job. Some health insurance is mandated by law, while workers' compensation insurance is specifically required as a way of protecting workers, though the system also should protect the employer from litigation over workplace incidents as well, as noted. Businesses have to consider a wide variety of types of insurance protection. Businesses can buy commercial general liability insurance that protects the organization against lawsuits alleging bodily injury or property damage legal liability. The policy thus insures against defense costs, awards, or settlements associated with lawsuits brought by third parties who may be injured by the business's premises operations, products-completed operations, or independent contractors: "The policy also automatically includes contractual liability insurance which causes it to provide protection to other parties whom the insured agrees in a business contract to 'hold harmless and indemnify'" (McIntyre & Gibson, 1988, p. 29). Sundheim (1988) emphasizes that such coverage is necessary because "businesses are exposed to possible liability claims from many different directions. . . To adequately protect the business, more than one form of liability insurance may be needed" (Sundheim, 1988, p. 116). The comprehensive general liability type includes virtually all of the liability insurance forms, written for most businesses, with the exception of automobile liability and worker's compensation."

From the Paper
"Human resources (HR) management has become one of the last remaining functional areas of an organization where differentiation can be achieved in the marketplace and where competitors might still be appreciably out performed. The reasons for this revolve around the ubiquitous and relative inexpensive character of technology and technological applications that have levelled the competitive field across all industries. Essentially, no matter where a company is located it can access and deploy the very same technological solutions as any other competitor; thus, organizations have determined, and correctly so, that human resources are a vital source of competitive edge if managed properly.
