Industrial accident: temporary disability benefit rate
The number that makes industrial accident insurance concrete rather than abstract. It is also the one insurance an employee contributes nothing to, which means a worker who has never seen it on a payslip may not know they are covered at all — and a foreign worker may be told, wrongly, that they are not.
- Applies to
- Employees unable to work because of an occupational injury or illness, regardless of nationality
- Review cadence
- Checked once a year
