Claim Example1: Employee suffers injury while at work:
One of your employees had their hand crushed while working on the production line. You have to call an ambulance, where they get sent to A&E.. The injured worker has to undergo surgery, and their medical bill ends up being $20,000. With this being a work-related injury, MOM will require you to compensate the worker for their $20,000 in medical expenses. MOM will also mandate that you pay your injured employee’s salary while they’re on medical leave. With Work Injury Compensation Insurance (WICA Insurance), the insurance company will pay these substantia costs for you.
