The world are facing the lock-down timing and most of us are directed or encourage to work from home.
The productivity required and or expected to be the same by the employee and work as usual.
In case of any accident happen to the employee during this time, will the company be liable and responsible and the employee or victim are covered under the company insurance.
The definition of working place as per OSHA Act shall be well define.
This is to protect both the employer and employee.
At first instance, yes, as this is determined by the labor legislation. This considers that ANY event that affects the physical integrity of the worker at his workplace, is considered as a company responsibility, so if the worker is at his workplace, at the time of the event that penalizes you, even if this place is at home, the legislation must be followed. This in my understanding and the legislation on Work Accident. I hope I helpedin your problem. Good Luck
I think it depends on which part of the world you live as every country and insurance agency has its own regulations
Good question for SOCSO or PERKESO to answer. This can be tested in a court of law when a SOCSO employee injures himself while working at home. Can this be interpreted as communicating to his place of work or already in his place of work.
