According to the Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Industrial Injury Insurance, the employer shall insure the employees with industrial injury insurance to protect the rights and interests of employees who are injured by accidents or suffer from occupational diseases at work. If an employee is injured at work, causing personal injury, death or other economic losses, the employer shall bear the corresponding liability for compensation according to law. The specific compensation standard depends on the specific situation, including medical expenses, nursing expenses, lost time, disability allowance, etc. If the employer refuses or is unable to perform the liability for compensation, the work-related injury insurance fund can advance the compensation expenses for work-related injuries and recover from the employer. However, in the process of recovery, the industrial injury insurance fund needs to prove that the employer is liable for compensation, and it needs to conduct certain investigation and evidence collection.
Does the employer need to bear the liability for compensation when employees suffer work-related injuries during overtime work? If a worker suffers work-related injuries during overtime, the employing unit shall bear the corresponding liability for compensation according to law. According to the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the employing unit shall not force workers to work overtime. Where an employee works overtime due to the work arrangement of the employer, resulting in work-related injuries, the employer shall be liable for compensation.
The employer shall be responsible for the compensation for work-related injuries. If the employer fails to perform the liability for compensation, the industrial injury insurance fund can pay in advance. If a worker suffers work-related injuries during overtime, the employing unit shall bear the corresponding liability for compensation according to law, and shall not force the worker to work overtime.
