Understanding COIDA Claims and Compensation
When a workplace injury or occupational disease occurs, the Compensation Fund provides several benefits to affected employees. These include medical expenses (paid directly by the Fund), temporary disability payments (75% of earnings for time off work), permanent disability compensation, and death benefits for dependants.
Employers must report workplace injuries to the Compensation Commissioner within 7 days using the prescribed W.Cl.2 form. However, employees also have the right to submit claims directly. Consequently, it is essential that employers understand the claims process and maintain proper records of all workplace incidents.
Furthermore, employers who are not registered with the Compensation Fund may face criminal prosecution and become personally liable for all medical costs and compensation payments. At Bekin Consulting, we guide you through both the registration and claims process to ensure full compliance.
