[04.09.11] |
 When you go to work for a company, you would definitely go there with the expectation that you would enjoy the job or the work environment. But not everyone would be able to get the job that they like. There would be a lot of people who are working at places that they do not like.
But they still continue because they need the pay and nobody is abusing them. Instead, if at the place your work, your employer mistreats you then you would be able to claim for compensation for the suffering that you had to undergo.
This mistreatment by the employer can be of any form. If the employee has suffered because of this mistreatment, then he is entitled for compensation. There are certain rights that are held by employees which are stated in the law. The law ensures that the employees that have been wronged get their just compensation. It will also ensure that the employers that have allowed such activities to take place are punished.
It does not matter what kind of injury that you have experienced at your workplace, you would be compensated as it is the duty of the employer to ensure that such things do not occur.
You may have had an accident in your office. For example, there may be a slipper floor because of which you fell and injured yourself. This would also come under the work compensation law as your employer should ensure that the floors are safe to walk. Another example would be the case of tripping over a loose wire.
All these factors should be taken care of by the employers. You would be able to make a claim for compensation for the injury that you suffer because of such conditions at the place that you work.
There are incidents where in an employee could be harassed at the work place. If such a situation occurs in your case, then you can definitely seek compensation from the employers with the help of the court of law. There are other cases where you might have got wrongfully sacked. You can definitely claim compensation for it as well by proving that the employers were wrong in firing you. You should take the help of a solicitor who would be able to prove that you were fired for reasons that were not attributable to you and can get compensation.
There are many jobs in which you would have to put in a lot of physical effort. Some of these jobs can be dangerous as well as there is always the possibility that you would get injured while working.
If that is the case, then you can definitely go for work compensation and you would be paid by your employer. In fact, many companies do take insurance so that they can be covered in case any of their employees get injured while they are on the job. In this way, they would be able to pay the compensation to their employees.
If you take the example of a construction site, there are many chances that you may get injured. But since you are working there, you need to be provided with protective gear and it should be ensured that you work in an environment that is safe. If the employers are in breach of this, and you get injured as a result, then you can definitely claim compensation.
You would need to hire a solicitor that would be able to help you in filing the claim and getting the correct compensation. Work compensation is a right that all the employees have.
