Employers are legally obliged to take good care to ensure that places of work are secure. But accidents can happen. Workers’ compensation policy provides cover when they do. Workers compensation insurance ensures that injured workers receive medical care and compensation when they cannot work. Workers receive benefits irrespective of whose fault it was. In case of unfortunate death of a worker, workers compensation provides death benefits to the dependents of workers.
Long work absences can have a significant detrimental impact on future job opportunities for workers and therefore on their economic status. Good workplace communication is essential to help workers return to work. You should clarify to staff how the workers’ compensation system functions and must report an injury promptly to receive medical attention. Unless the workers are made aware of their rights, they will not be able to exercise them. Communicate with employees who are off work due to work-related injury on a regular basis. Workers who know that they are still part of the workplace team are generally keener to return. Workers compensation accommodates the needs of both workers and employers.
