The Workmen's Compensation Act

The Workmen's Compensation Act is a law that ensures workers injured or disabled at their job receive financial support and medical benefits, regardless of fault. It aims to protect employees by providing compensation for work-related injuries, promoting safer work environments, and reducing legal disputes between workers and employers. Employers are usually required to pay into a fund or insurance system, which then provides benefits to affected workers. This law helps workers and their families manage the financial impact of workplace accidents and health issues, fostering a sense of job security and responsibility.
