Apparently people will try to find any reason to file a workers' compensation claim. Some experts are predicting that some employees, especially in the health care industry who come in contact with those suffering from flu like symptoms as part of their jobs, will seek workers' compensation benefits. The claims would be based on the fact that they are at greater risk of contracting the disease than someone in the general population.
The good news is, the related claims would likely be minimal in cost. However, with the predicted increase in deaths related to H1N1 could be a cause for concern.

How Updated is your Employee Handbook
So, you have an employee who is driving your company vehicle and they have an accident while texting......that's grounds for termination, right? Well that depends. How updated is your employee handbook? Does it address this issue? It is now illegal to text and drive in 18 states and Washington, DC (www.aaapublicaffairs.com/Assets/Files/2099871453120.DistractedDrivingLaws.doc)
but do you have your employement policies updated to uniformly protect employees from being distracted while driving or operating equipment?
Recognize that mobile commmunication is a fact of life and make sure that your policies are practical and realistic.

Obama Pushes for Tax Reform Next Year
Obama is looking to close tax loopholes for businesses. He wants to have higher SECA taxes on owners of S firms and partnerships.
He wants to eliminate the skiriting of the payroll tax by by sharehoders of S Corps who take dvideneds instead of salary by making them pay self-employment tax on their share of the firm's income that comes from the shareholders servcies.
He also wants to increase the 33% and 35% marginal income tax rates to rise to 36% and 39.6%. He also wants to increase the capital gains and dividents for filers in the 28% bracket. Additionally itemized deuctions on upper income taxpayers would be further limited. Other deductions on the chopping block would be the deduction for domestic production, accelerated depreciation, tax breaks on foreign income, amortization of intangibles, and special incentives for oil drilling and output.
