Workmen's Compensation Act: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how workers can claim monetary compensation for injuries or death sustained during their employment.
This Act provides financial protection to employees who suffer injuries or face death due to accidents that happen while they are performing their job duties.
Who it's for
This scheme is for workers who are injured during the course of their employment.
What you get
You are entitled to receive monetary compensation (known as เคฎเฅเคเคตเคเคพ) if you suffer an injury or if a death occurs as a result of a work-related accident.
What it costs you
There is no monetary fee to access this protection, but you will need to provide supporting documentation. This typically includes medical reports regarding your injury and official logs of the incident.
The catch to know
Sometimes, employers may attempt to settle injury claims privately between themselves and the worker. It is important to always file an official report to ensure your rights are legally protected.
How to apply
- Report the workplace accident to your employer immediately.
- Collect all medical reports and documentation related to the injury.
- Ensure an official incident log is created.
- File a formal claim through the appropriate legal channels to receive your compensation.
