The compensation office waits until it has all the forms and only then does it pay. (See Long delay in paying compensation)

TEMPORARY DISABILITY

The compensation office will pay the employer who gives it to the employee.

PERMANENT DISABILITY

Lump sum – The payment gets sent to the employer who will pay the employee what is owing.

Pension – This is paid out monthly for the rest of a person’s life. The disabled employee can decide where the compensation office must send the pension, for example to a bank account. Pensions are always back-paid to the date of the accident. If employers do not send in the forms or the claims take long, employees must contact the nearest employment office and report it.
