Article : 8
 
In case of a occupational accident resulting in a temporary or permanent disability accounting for over 20%, and in inability to return to work, that is, the accident causes temporary absence at work, the victim shall be entitled to daily allowances beginning from the 5th day after the accident occurred as long as he/she has the certified letter of physician recognized by MOSLAVY, in addition to receiving the allowances provided in article 7.

The daily allowances shall be equivalent to the average daily wage of the victim.
The average daily wage shall be equivalent to the quotient of the base wage by the number of working days of the victim.

The base wage shall be equivalent to the sum of the net wage and other fringe benefits such as overtime, duty allowances, and other allowances in such forms as transportation, vocation, and mission, except for family allowances.

The amount of base wage shall be determined in compliance with the following criteria
1. Equivalent to, if the wage is payable monthly, the wage for the last month, i.e. the month before month, when the accident occurred.

2. Equivalent to, if the wage is payable fortnight, the wage for the last two consecutive fortnights before the fortnight the accident occurred.

3. Equivalent to, if the wage is payable weekly, the wage for the last four consecutive weeks before the week the accident occurred.

4. Equivalent to, if the wage is payable daily or irregularly, the total amount of a month's daily wages of working days plus paid holidays, as of the day the accident occurred.

5. Equivalent to, if the wage is payable more than one months but can be drawn once every quarter, the total wage for three months as of the day the accident occurred.

6. Equivalent to, if the victim had seasonal or intermittent work, the total wages for twelve months as of day the accident occurred.

The calculation of base wage shall be based on the above criteria, if within 30 days as of the day the accident occurred, the victim has suspended work due to an illness, an ordinary accident, a birth delivery, paid leave, leave of absence, or illness or injury leading to a relapse.
Upon receiving certification from the Department of Labour Medicine on the recovery and ability to return to work:

- If the person fails to report to work within 6 working days since the reception of the above certification letter, he/she shall be considered as having abandoned the job.
- The employer shall reinstate him/her. In case of inability to reinstate him/her, however, the employer shall pay him/her the lump sum equivalent to the daily average wage for 12 months.

Article : 9
 
In case of a work-related accident resulting in a permanent loss of over twenty percent of working capacity, or death officially certified by a physician recognized by MOSALVY, the victim or his/her beneficiary shall have the right to receive annuity.
The annuity is a function of an annual base wage and the level of the loss of the work capacity of the victim. The annuity for occupational accidents shall be provided after the recovery from injuries. During treatment period, the victim shall have the right to receive the daily allowances provided in article 8.

The annual base wage of the victim shall be in compliance with the following criteria:

- Equivalent to, in normal condition, the base wage of the victim provided in Article 8 during the period of twelve months as of the day the accident occurred.
- Equivalent to, if the victim had been employed in whatever vocation for yet less than complete twelve months as of day the accident occurred, the wage he/she had been receiving as of the day the accident occurred. Despite this provision, the victim may have the right to receive the same or better benefits as stated in the preceding paragraph.
- Equivalent to, if the victim has not worked for twelve months as of the day he/she fails to report for work due to an illnesses, an ordinary accident, a birth delivery, paid leave, or leave of absence, the average wage for the period of twelve months as of the day he/she failed to report for work due to the occupational accident.

In case the ratio of the loss of the working capacity accounts for 50%, the victim shall have the right to receive an annuity calculated as follows:
R1 - Annual Annuity
R1= 1/2SX1 where S - Annual Base Wage
X1 - Ratio of loss of permanent working capacity from
20% to 50%
Where this ratio is more than 50% the annuity shall be calculated as follows:

R2 - Annual Annuity
R2= S[1/250% + 1.5 (X2 - 50%)] where S - Annual Base Wage
X2 - Ratio of loss of permanent
working capacity exceeds 50%

Where the accident results in total loss of working capacity and which requires constant care by another person, the employer shall increase the above annuity provided for by 40%.
Upon receiving the annuity, the victim has the right to perform duty that fits with his/her physical fitness. As such, the employer shall provide the victim with vocational re-training to enable him/her to perform his/her new duty.
The employer can pay a lump sum to the victim on condition that both parties agree upon such option.

Article : 10
 

The employer shall be responsible for having the victim's physical fitness re-checked at the Department of Labour Medicine after the victim's recovery. This obligation shall apply to only the victims who have not reported to work for five days and over.
The employer shall cover the cost for physical fitness re-examination.

Article : 11
 

Employers shall be legally liable for covering funeral costs and providing annuity to dependents of the victim of fatal accident. The dependents shall be characterized as follows:
- The victim's spouse, with a valid marriage certificate, who was not divorced or separated as of the day the accident took place;
- The victim's dependent children. A dependent child is a child who is not married and not older than 16 years of age. The age limit may be increased to 18 years of age for a child who is undertaking apprenticeship, and to 22 years of age for a child who is continuing education at a public high school or university, or at an authorized fee-paying private high school or university, as well as a disabled child or a child who has a chronic incurable illness.

The costs for funeral shall be determined to be equivalent to 90 times the average daily wage or to the trimester wage of the victim.
The annuity for the victim's dependents shall be determined by ratio of the annual base wage of the victim and the ratio shall be determined as follows:
- 30% for the victim's spouse;
- 15% for the first and the second child who lost one of their parents;
- 10% for the third child who lost one of their parents;

The total annuity, however, shall not exceed 85% of the annual base wage.

The entitlement to the spouse's annuity as specified above shall lose its legal force if the spouse re-marries.

The victim can claim annuity on a monthly basis or on a lump sum basis on condition that the employer and the victim's beneficiary agree upon such an option.
