I ran over my butler this morning - where do I stand as an employer? (employment, work)

[Cream1]

Whenever I hurt my servants it has been, until now, fully intentional. However, this morning I had my butler polishing the gravel in my driveway and accidentally ran him over.

Whilst tootling allong in the Rolls, I didn't notice the fellow crouching down and so managed to roll over him. I stopped the car, thinking that there was a tyre problem, and found the man barely conscious and splayed across the ground, bleeding. Naturally, he is most apologetic for getting in the way, and hopes to get back to work once the bones have healed.

Should I still be paying him in his time off, or simply dock his wages for the number of days he is in hospital? I really would like some proper answers to this, as I'm not sure about the employment procedure.

Chola justice, amigo.

Have the butler drive and you roll under the car. Let's hope he doesn't run over your nuts

No expenses. No procedure. Free of cost.

Hospital??

You should have clubbed him over the head with your fancy walking stick and dumped his remains into the ocean and claimed his life insurance.

Duh!!!

Sounds like a workers compensation claim.
