Workers' compensation might provide:
-
Payments to the family of a worker who died. This is often covered under workers' compensation laws if the death was related to a work injury or occupational disease.
-
Training to prepare an employee who was disabled by a workplace accident. Workers' compensation may cover rehabilitation and retraining services for employees who are unable to return to their previous job due to a workplace injury.
The other options listed, such as medical treatment for injuries during vacation and payments after retirement, typically would not be covered by workers' compensation.
