Worker's compensation is medical insurance paid for by your employer in case an employee gets injured on the job. This insurance pays for the injured worker's medical care, a percentage of time lost from work and, if necessary, job retraining. State laws vary greatly as to the percentage of compensation one can receive. |

"Workers' compensation systems (also known as workers' comp in North American English or compo in Australian English) provide for financial compensation for work-related injuries of employees, in particular compensation of loss of wages, sometimes also for medical costs. These laws are usually a feature of highly developed industrial societies. Employees' compensation laws are often only implemented after long and hard fought struggles by trade unions, particularly in early industrialisation. There are often benefits available to dependents of workers killed on the job as well.
Employees' compensation laws were first enacted in Europe and Oceania, with the United States following shortly thereafter. Workers' compensation programs were a key component of the labor structure of the former Soviet Union and similar societies." |
