Abstract:

This paper examines the gaps in chief executive officer (CEO) and worker compensation by exploring the vital data of 10 corporations as uncovered in a study by NerdWallet.com on the differences in hourly compensation between CEOs and average hourly workers or employees. The author examines the problem of excessive compensation for CEOs as a major organizational challenge that affects perceptions of fairness by stakeholders, especially employees or workers whose contributions to organizational performance and success are not being adequately rewarded, but instead transferred to CEOs and other executives as companies increase revenues and profits through the sweat and toil of ordinary workers. The author argues that executive compensation should be linked to organizational results and performance, and examines the standards and considerations for determining fair wage and compensation, and from examining vital data on CEO compensation and average worker compensation, explores the implications for organizational change, including consideration of quality work life (QWL) investments. Several recommendations are made for meeting the challenge of excessive CEO compensation to include the following: (1) developing new approaches or methods of compensation that take worker rewards into consideration; (2) limiting CEO or executive compensation relative to established multiple of the average worker’s wage; (3) intervention and petition from governmental and administrative agencies including workers’ rights organizations for change; and (4) more compassionate leadership and management by organizational CEO and executives with increased concern for workers’ well-being.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Sustaining sufficient income in retirement becomes particularly challenging for injured workers supported during their working years by workers’ compensation benefits. This study examined the income security of injured workers aged 65 and older in Ontario (Canada’s largest province) who had spent five years or more on workers’ compensation benefits. Methods Our 2019-2022 multi-method study involved: 1) scanning Canadian workers’ compensation policies on retirement age benefits; 2) reviewing Ontario parliament transcripts on political debates surrounding the injured worker pension benefit cuts; 3) in-depth interviews on workers’; experiences of workers’ compensation retirement benefits. Results Most Canadian workers’ compensation boards made significant cuts to retirement benefits, substantially reducing retired injured worker incomes. Monthly pension payments had shifted to lump-sum payouts, which disrupted workers’ access to social security supports. The political debates about cuts to injured worker retirement pensions focused mostly on affordability and concepts of worker deservingness. Interviews with injured workers revealed deep poverty of older injured workers. Discussion Workers’ compensation is intended to compensate for income losses related to work-related ill-health and injury, including losses to contributions to the Canadian pension retirement plan, but this is no longer provided in Canada and workers face related economic hardship. Conclusion Our study is one of the first to examine workers’ compensation benefits for injured workers in retirement. It draws attention to the problem of poverty among injured workers in their retirement years and raises questions about politics, reduced retirement benefits and adequacy of the Canadian social security net.

Abstract:

Objective The aim of this scoping review was to map the literature on the lived experiences of injured workers in Australia in order to better understand the factors that inhibit the transition back to work and improved health. The ultimate aim of the study was to identify areas for further research into workers’ compensation systems and practices that are associated with improved occupational rehabilitation outcomes. Methods PubMed, ProQuest, Embase and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were searched for eligible articles published in English in peer-reviewed journals from 2001 to 2017. Narrative data synthesis was used to analyse the data collected from included articles. Results Twelve articles examining injured workers’ experiences within Australian workers’ compensation systems were identified. Injured workers reported similar experiences across states and territories in Australia. Four common themes and three subthemes were noted, namely: (1) relationships and interactions; (2) injured workers’ perceptions (subthemes: mental health effects, social effects and financial effects); (3) the workers’ compensation process; and (4) independent medical evaluations. Conclusions There are common difficulties that injured workers experience within Australian workers’ compensation systems that are reported to impede rehabilitation and return to work. A less harmful, more cooperative approach to worker rehabilitation and compensation is needed. What is known about the topic? Different workers’ compensation systems exist throughout Australia. Little is known about injured workers’ perceptions of their experiences within these systems in Australia and whether these experiences are similar or different across systems. What does this paper add? This scoping review synthesises available evidence showing that injured workers report negative experiences of workers’ compensation systems, and that this experience is similar across the different systems. This review also identified a clear need for future research on workers’ compensation systems in order to promote evidence-based approaches to best support the occupational rehabilitation of injured workers. What are the implications for practitioners? Evidence suggests a more holistic, biopsychosocial approach is required by practitioners when facilitating an injured worker’s recovery and return to work. This approach is also vital when considering legislative reforms, such as workers’ compensation systems, processes and practices.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Context: A physician's role within a workers' compensation injury extends far beyond just evaluation and treatment with several socioeconomic and psychological factors at play when compared to similar injuries occurring outside of the workplace. Although workers' compensation statutes vary among states, all have several basic features with the overall goal of returning the injured worker to maximal function in the shortest time period, with the least residual disability and shortest time away from work. Purpose: To help physicians unfamiliar with the workers' compensation process accomplish these goals. Study Design: Review. Methods: Educational review. Results: The streamlined review addresses the topics of 1) Why is Workers' Compensation Necessary? 2) What does Workers' Compensation Cover? 3) Progression following Work Injury 4) Impairment and Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), including how to use the 6th edition of American Medical Association's (AMA) Guides, 5) Completion of Work Injury Claim after Impairment Rating, 6) Independent Medical Evaluation, and 7) Causation. Conclusions: In the ‘no-fault’ workers' compensation system, physicians play a key role is progressing the claim along and, more importantly, getting the injured worker back to work as soon as safely possible. Physicians should remain familiar with the workers' compensation process, along with how to properly utilize the AMA Guides.

Abstract:

Background:To increase recovery and return to work after an occupational accident or injury, a worker’s compensation claim provides individualised management plan involving multiple kinds of treatment. These plans can consist of the prescription of opioids to reduce inflammation, provide pain relief and increase functionality within a short period of time to aid return to work. Recently, there have been growing concerns about the misuse of opioids in managing pain symptoms by both the insurance industry and the general community. Studies from North America have indicated the prescription and management of opioid consumption among workers compensation claimants can cause more harm to functionality and reduce recovery to return to work, often leading to misuse, dependency or overdosing (Dembe, Wickizer, Sieck, Partridge & Balchick (2012)].Objectives:The aims of this abstract are to provide a comprehensive literature review of the studies that have examined: 1) the prevalence of opioid use among worker compensations claimants and, 2) identify predictors of long-term opioid use among the workers compensation claimants.Methods:A search strategy, with terms associated with “worker compensation”, “opioids” “prevalence” and/or “risk factors” were used to search through relevant databases such as CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science from database inception to January 2020. Duplicates were excluded. Two researchers retrieved, screened for eligibility and reviewed the results accordingly using a staged approach. Systematic review registration number PROSPERO registry number: CRD42013004137.Results:The search yielded 2857 records. After the initial screening, 125 full-text articles were assessed by two independent reviewers. The inclusion criteria were met by nine studies1-9. All studies conducted retrospective cohort studies using workers compensation claimant’s data, ranging from 54,931, to 100,357 reports, either over a short 12-month period to over 11 years, with no reporting of response rate or recruitment rates. All studies examined the association of being exposure to opioids from the date of the workers injury(7), ranging from 30 to 730 days or from 0 days to 4 or more years1 4-9. Carnide et al (2018)2 was the only study to investigate opioid exposure before and after injury as a predictor of future long term use. Among those who examined work-opioid related factors (4) found workers compensation reports with work disability for more than 14 days where more likely to become a long term opioid uses (OR: 2.17 [95% CI:1.52–3.10])1. Kraut et al7 on the other hand, found being a worker’s compensation claimant increased the risk of being prescribed ≥ 120 morphine equivalents (ME) per day (ME/D) (OR: 2.06 [95% CI: 1.58 - 2.69]), than those who were not in workers compensation program. Another study found, initial days of supply of opioids from 5 to 20 or more days was strongly associated with long term use of opioids (OR: 28.94 [95%CI, 23.44-35.72])5. While a study by Heins et al (2015)6 examined receiving opioids within the first month, people with back injuries were less likely to become a long-term opioid user (OR: 0.67 [95% CI: 0.59 – 0.76]), while those with shoulder injury were at risk (OR: 1.29 [95% CI: 1.06 – 1.58]).Conclusion:There are a number of reliable prevalence studies among workers compensation settings indicating opioid use is below 20 percent however, there remains inconsistencies when examining predictors of long term or persistent opioid use. After reviewing the literature, a validity of studies will be conducted and graded by two authors independently using a standardised checklist to complete a systematic review for publication which will assist with managing opioid use among work compensation claimants and managers.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract:

The mental health of men is an important issue with significant direct and indirect costs emerging from work-related depression and suicide. Although the merits of men’s community-based and workplace mental health promotion initiatives have been endorsed, few programs are mandated or formally evaluated and reported on. Conspicuously absent also are gender analyses detailing connections between masculinities and men’s work-related depression and suicide on which to build men-centered mental health promotion programs. This article provides an overview of four interconnected issues, (a) masculinities and men’s health, (b) men and work, (c) men’s work-related depression and suicide, and (d) men’s mental health promotion, in the context of men’s diverse relationships to work (including job insecurity and unemployment). Based on the review, recommendations are made for advancing the well-being of men who are in as well as of those out of work.

Abstract:

In a company or organization, one of the most important elements is maintaining relationships between each other both between workers and to superiors, because a good work environment will bring performance to be more controllable and bring the work environment to be productive, this is what makes good performance in a company or organization. Several things can bring good performance as in this study which discusses Compensation and an Award to a worker for his performance which is classified as entering a good work stage so that efforts to provide compensation and awards make positive efforts and bring progress to the performance of workers in a company or organization and bring competence in the world of work. Compensation provided by the employer will bring workers to be more responsible in meeting work standards and the award is given as a reward for performance that has met operational standards for the company. The results of this study indicate that providing compensation and awards to a worker can bring positive value and can even improve the performance of these workers, where workers will become more enthusiastic in working and can even increase the value of the company, agency and even the organization where the worker works and the award shows that the worker has an achievement for good performance. Keywords: Compensation, Awards, Worker Performance.

Abstract:

This study examined the parallel multiple mediating effect of work-life balance and family support on the effect of the social worker compensation system on life satisfaction. The life satisfaction of social workers is the most fundamental factor that prevents impaired quality of life, turnover, and burnout among social workers. Moreover, to improve the life satisfaction of social workers, it is important to consider work-life balance and family support together. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the compensation system, life satisfaction, work-life balance, and family support among 475 social workers, and the results were as follows: First, it was found that the social worker compensation system had a positive effect on the parameter work-life balance and family support. Second, it was found that the parameters of work-life balance and family support both had positive effects on life satisfaction. Finally, it was found that the compensation system of social workers had an indirect effect on life satisfaction through certain parameters. Both work-life balance and family support, which are parameters, showed indirect effects on the path from the compensation system to life satisfaction. With these results, this study provided basic data for service and policy establishment to improve the compensation system for social workers, and it lastly suggested directions for follow-up studies.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Taiwan’s worker compensation insurance has been criticized for inadequate coverage. Not all employees are eligible for insurance. Since May, 2022, Taiwan’s worker compensation insurance has been reformed, which provided wider coverage with better protection. Methods To investigate the impact of Taiwan’s worker compensation insurance reform, we carry out both qualitative and quantitative analysis. We compare insurance eligibility and insurance benefits before and after the reform, and the potential impact is discussed. To validate these potential effects, using released data from Taiwan’s worker compensation insurance, we compare insured persons, incidence of occupational injuries and illness before and after the reform. Results After the reform, all employers are required to provide worker compensation insurance to their employees. Discontinuity regression analysis shows that the number of insured employees increases significantly by time (about 16600 employees/month) and increases once after the reform (about 160000 employees), which is explained by the inclusion of foreign domestic workers and caregivers. However, their occupation injuries and diseases still rarely get compensated. The incidence rate ratios of their occupational injuries and diseases are only 0.09 (0.07-0.11) and 0.03-0.08, compared with workers from the same industry category and workers with the same gender and age. However, discontinuity regression analysis also shows that their occupation injuries and diseases get compensated more, significantly by time. Conclusion After the reform, more employees are insured by worker compensation insurance, majorly by inclusion of foreign domestic workers and caregivers. However, we have to overcome more obstacles to ensure their occupation injuries and diseases are fully compensated.

Abstract:

The engagement of ‘non-citizens’, ‘aliens’, and ‘undocumented workers’ for work raises a number of delicate employment law and policy issues. This paper considers the attitude of the courts in the United States (US) to the question of the rights of workers who work contrary to immigration laws (illegal workers)1 and will focus on the recent case law in relation to workers’ compensation entitlements. In the US the case law on the rights of illegal workers to workers’ compensation is unclear and heavily dependent upon local State legislation and judicial attitudes. It has also been heavily influenced by the Supreme Court decision of Hoffman Plastic Compounds v National Labor Relations Board, which dealt with the rights of undocumented workers to make claims for wages consequent upon unfair termination of the employment contract. This paper explores the different judicial and legislative approaches to the rights of illegal workers to workers’ compensation, and proposes a possible humanitarian response to the difficult problem of the injured illegal worker.

Abstract:

The development of regulations, policies and strategies applied by The Laguna Resort and Spa Nusa Dua, Bali by providing additional financial compensation in the form of service charges to daily workers which are not applied by hotels in general. The assessment of this decision is certainly important to determine the effect of financial compensation on the performance of the daily workers. This study successfully identified and observed items of financial compensation that affect the performance of daily workers, namely related to the fulfillment of basic wages, adjustment of basic wages, provision of service charges, safety benefits and provision of adequate work tools. Financial compensation has a positive and significant effect with a value of 53.3% on the performance of the daily workers, where the service charge is the most influential item of financial compensation in improving performance. Meanwhile, the increase in work productivity shown through the level of attendance at work every month is the highest item affected by financial compensation. In addition, the increase in daily worker performance is also influenced by other variables not examined in this study

Abstract:

In addition to disability insurance purchased privately by individuals or employers, three other major types of disability insurance are available: Workers’ Compensation, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI). The first two, Workers’ Compensation and SSDI, are available to individuals with work connections. The third, SSI, does not require a work connection.Workers’ Compensation laws were initially passed to provide economic protection for workers and their families when a worker suffered an accident on the job resulting in an injury. The first laws passed were subject to court challenges based on their constitutionality. Ultimately courts approved the constitutionality of the Workers’ Compensation laws rationalizing that the laws created a compromise whereby an employee gave up her right to sue for a tort recovery in exchange for the employer's agreement to pay benefits without regard to the cause of the accident.

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Cigarettes are the leading cause of this disease. However, workplace exposures, including those in the mining industry, may also lead to COPD. These exposures include dust and fumes that can be higher for mineral industry workers who work in confined areas. As a result, workers in the minerals industry may submit compensation claims. Sadly, work-related COPD is not well compensated or recognized by the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Physicians and union representatives struggle to complete forms and have claims approved, and because of this, workers can struggle with money, family, and mental health problems. This qualitative narrative study used in-depth telephone interviews (eight) to collect information. The information collected from physicians (four) and union representatives (four) was analyzed to understand their perspectives and experiences when assisting workers with compensation claims. This is the first study to examine how COPD could affect underground mineral workers in Northeastern Ontario. Themes identified in this study include 1) additional administrative and human support resources are required, 2) smoking cessation is essential, 3) COPD is a crippling disease, 4) education is required to support documenting an occupational illness, 5) the compensation claim process is challenging; 6) occupational diseases are challenging to prove, 7) occupational COPD is costly. This study may help with compensation services and provide support for physicians and union representatives involved with an underground mineral worker diagnosed with occupational COPD.

Abstract:

Labour law in Australia is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Fuelled by demands from big business and a dramatically changing constitutional landscape, the locus of regulation is shifting from the states and territories to the federal government. The most conspicuous illustration to date has been in the mainstream industrial relations arena as epitomized by the Howard Conservative Coalition Government’s Work Choices legislation. More recently, the Rudd Labour Government has championed a national approach to occupational health and safety law based on its ‘cooperative federalism’ agenda. Though less pronounced, workers’ compensation for injury at work has also been the subject of growing business demands for greater national regulation. In examining this issue, this paper will first of all outline previous attempts to develop a national workers’ compensation framework before turning to a consideration of more recent policy and legal developments, which have contributed to the emerging regulatory realignment of workers’ compensation laws and policy. The paper will also identify the major constraints on the drive for a national regulatory framework.

Abstract:

AbstractUnder most workers' compensation statutes, an injury must “arise out of” and “in the course of” employment in order to qualify as a compensable disability. In U.S. Industries v. Director, the Supreme Court held that the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act must be strictly construed to avoid transforming the compensation system into a form of social insurance. In U.S. Industries, the Court denied a disability claim based on an arthritic condition which was manifested while the worker was at home in bed. This Note contends that the Supreme Court neglected to consider pertinent medical realities when analyzing the causation question. Thus, the decision undermines the overall rationale behind workers' compensation legislation. Nonetheless, the Note argues that the case does not relax the requirement of adequately scrutinizing the causative elements underlying any reasonable claim for disability benefits. An analysis adequately accommodating both medical and legal facts, instead of relying upon the vagaries of statutory interpretation, is necessary to improve the efficiency and fairness of workers' compensation disability determinations.

Abstract:

This study compares results of endoscopic carpal tunnel release using the two-portal technique in two groups of patients based on whether or not they were receiving workers' compensation. There were 50 patients in the worker's compensation group and 63 in the nonworker's compensation group. Mean follow-up was 40.8 months and 44.8 months, respectively. Duration of symptoms before surgery was statistically different in the two groups, 13.6 months in the worker's compensation groups compared to 26.2 months in the nonworker's compensation group. Worker's compensation patients tended to be younger, have shorter duration of symptoms before surgery, report lower postoperative activity levels, have more subsequent surgeries, and have mediocre results when compared to nonworker's compensation patients. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate or timing of return to work. Our series of 113 patients who had endoscopic carpal tunnel release indicates that careful patient selection is necessary to achieve satisfactory outcomes in worker's compensation patients.

Abstract:

Using data from the 1982 Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the authors investigate the relationship between wages and the risk of work-related death or nonfatal injury. Including industry-level variables and using alternative risk measures dramatically affects measured wage compensation. The results cast doubt on the existence of compensating differentials for risk. Indeed, the strongest finding is the likely presence of negative compensation—relatively high risk and low wages—for nonunion workers. The role of rent-sharing or other forms of strategic bargaining behavior (captured by value-added per worker and other industry variables) and the gender distribution of both risk and wages demonstrate that noncompetitive elements in U.S. labor markets are sufficiently strong to overcome the competitive tendency toward equalizing differentials.

Abstract:

Relevance: Medical workers render assistance in conditions of constant increased emotional stress. They experience various psychological problems, a decrease in emotional and mental resources. A marked decrease in medical workers’ emotional resources makes it difficult to establish psychological contact with the patient, complicates patient interaction and providing the necessary emotional support, and adversely affects the preservation of medical workers’ emotional stability, psychological reliability, and professional image. The study aimed to reveal the peculiarities of emotional and mental resources of cancer clinic medical workers. Results: The study showed that a successful professional activity of a medical worker requires such psychic features as a high level of communicative competence in dealing with patients and their relatives; a medical worker’s independence and autonomy, self-confidence, and stability in various situations, combined with flexible behavior in changing non-standard professional situations; a high degree of resistance to stress, emotional and informational overload; the presence of developed adaptation and compensation mechanisms. Conclusion: The formedness of a medical worker’s mental self-regulation methods and techniques, mastering psychological and emotional adaptation and compensation mechanisms contribute to the development and formation of high emotional stability, the ability to withstand stress, and increase job satisfaction.
