Whether depression counts as a work-related injury and whether the company can be compensated depends on a number of factors and contexts.
First of all, depression is not as easy as other work-related injuries to determine whether duty can be a unit or not. According to our law, depression is not explicitly classified as a work-related injury. A work-related injury usually refers to a work-related injury or occupational disease during working hours and in the workplace. Depression is a mental illness, which is usually related to various factors such as work pressure and life pressure, and does not belong to the category of occupational diseases. Even if it can constitute a work-related injury in theory, there are obstacles in practice, and it is difficult to prove that mental illness and the resulting personal injury are caused by work-related reasons in the absence of clear rules.
However, if the depression is a direct result of work, such as stress at work, harassment, etc., then it may be considered a work-related injury. In this case, the employee can try to apply to the labor department for work-related injury, and after investigation and determination, he can enjoy the benefits of work-related injury insurance, including compensation for medical expenses, disability allowance, one-time medical subsidy for work-related injury, etc. If the employee is unable to continue working due to depression and is confirmed by the medical appraisal committee to continue working, the employer may terminate the employment relationship. In this case, the employer is required to pay severance and medical benefits to the employee.
In addition, if depression cannot be recognized as a work-related injury, the employee can collect evidence that the employer and leader have violated your personality rights (reputation rights, health rights, etc.) to prove that the depression has a direct causal relationship with the long-term printing of work or leadership, and request the court to determine the infringement and bear the tort liability of the employer and leader.
To sum up, depression may not be recognized as a work-related injury, but if it is caused by work-related reasons, you can try to apply for a work-related injury determination. If the employee is unable to continue working due to depression, the employee can still claim compensation for personal injury tort.
