What is Workers Compensation Insurance?
Workers Compensation Insurance, from a technical standpoint, is a form of insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment. It's a statutory requirement for businesses in Australia, meaning it's mandated by law. This insurance is in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue the employer for negligence in most cases. To translate this into simpler terms, imagine you've just started your own business. You've hired a few people to help run it. Now, one of these employees, unfortunately, gets hurt while doing their job - maybe they slip and fall, or they become ill because of something in the workplace. As a business owner, you are responsible for their well-being while they're at work.
