REMINDER ON OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS
****
EMPLOYERS WERE REMINDED TODAY (TUESDAY) THAT THEY SHOULD INFORM THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT OF AN OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED PERIOD OF SEVEN DAYS IF THE INJURED EMPLOYEE IS GIVEN SICK LEAVE FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT ISSUED THE REMINDER FOLLOWING TWO RECENT COURT CASES IN WHICH A RESTAURANT AND A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WERE EACH FINED THE MAXIMUM OF $1 000 FOR FAILING TO NOTIFY THE DEPARTMENT OF AN OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED PERIOD.
HE EXPLAINED THAT IF AN EMPLOYEE IS INJURED AT WORK AND GIVEN SICK LEAVE BY A DOCTOR FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS, THE EMPLOYER SHOULD COMPLY WITH THE EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION ORDINANCE BY NOTIFYING THE DEPARTMENT WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF THE ACCIDENT.
THE EMPLOYER SHOULD DO SO WHETHER OR NOT THE ACCIDENT GAVE
RISE TO LIABILITY TO PAY COMPENSATION.
ANY EMPLOYER WHO, WITHOUT A REASONABLE EXCUSE, FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROVISION, WAS LIABLE TO PROSECUTION AND, ON SUMMARY CONVICTION, TO A MAXIMUM FINE OF $1 000.
