Be a Responsible and Ethical Employer

Remember that your employees depend on the Compensation claim to pay their medical bills, so be a responsible employer by timeously submitting all relevant forms to the Compensation Fund and following up with the relevant medical practitioners and the Compensation Commissioner.

In several cases employees are dismissed due to injuries or diseases that they have contracted via work. Employees need to consider implementing programs for these incapacitated employees such as rehabilitation, retraining and assisting their workers in returning to the workplace. The onus is on the employer to take responsibility for the re-skilling of incapacitated staff.

As a responsible employer, dedicate a little time towards educating your workers on injury and illness prevention and develop some health and safety promotion strategies and policies.
