Employee Not Liable, Says OSHA

THE U.S. COURT of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently ruled that an employee couldn't be held criminally liable for his employer's OSHA violations.

A manager for a contractor had been charged with aiding and abetting his employer in several OSHA violations that resulted in the death of three employees on a Milwaukee tunnel project.

The court ruled that the federal law didn't intend to punish employees "whose reckless or willful actions injure their co-workers. State law remains the appropriate means of sanctioning such conduct."

Contractor Fined for Misclassification

A CONTRACTOR in Connecticut was recently fined $1,400 and given a suspended 420 day sentence for misclassifying employees as "independent subcontractors." Contractors who misclassify employees as independent subcontractors are able to avoid paying their fair share of workers' comp insurance, a practice that contributes to the soaring costs of such insurance, the court noted.

According to the court's ruling, "Connecticut law allows any person, firm, association, or corporation to sue for damages if they've suffered harm as a result of a firm's or individual's misrepresentation of employees as independent subcontractors.

The contractor was given one year probation on the condition that he compensate employees for lost benefits and wages.
