In the event that you are injured on the job or during your commute, the costs for medical care and any work-related injuries will be covered entirely by the insurance. Separate paperwork will be provided in these cases. If you go to a non-designated hospital, you will have to pay with your own money but you can get a refund later.

Premium

The premium for your worker's accident compensation insurance will be paid for by your employer.
