workers’ compensation insurance

The House labour committee discussed the need for establishing a labour compensation fund. A request was sent to the labour minister to explore the creation of a workers’ compensation insurance fund and to contribute to creating a legislative framework for it. A bill passed in 1989 provided for the creation of such a fund, which would compensate workers in case of work accidents, similar to the fund for motor vehicle insurers that compensates uninsured drivers. The need arises because employees without employer’s liability insurance or those whose insurers went bankrupt are not compensated in case of work accidents, leading to significant social problems.
