Protection for employers and employees
Workers’ compensation provides benefits to employees who are unable to work because of work-related injuries or diseases caused by workplace exposure. These benefits include:
- Lost wages
- Medical care
- Rehabilitation
- Vocational job training
- Benefits for permanent disability
