Compensation is money paid by the Compensation Fund to employees who were injured on duty, to replace loss of wages and/or to pay medical expenses. If you are off work for three days or less, you will not receive compensation. Medical expenses will, however, be paid. For the first three months you are booked off from work, your employer is obliged to pay you 75% of your earnings/wages as at the time of the accident, if your injury is serious and lasts for the first three months. Your employer will claim this back, from the Compensation Fund. If you are off work for more than three months the money (salary/ wages) must be claimed directly from the Compensation (Fund).
