What is it?
Its a type of form providing medical benefits and wage replacement to an employee when a injury occurs while on the job.
What type of benefits do employees get?
- Income benefits- replaces a portion of any wages you loss from work-related injury or illness.
- Medical benefits- pays necessary medical care
- Burial benefits- pays some of deceased employee's funeral expenses
- Death benefits- gives some money for lost family income to eligible members of the employee killed on the job
