If you have a minor injury at work, whether you need to make a work-related injury determination depends on the specific situation and your personal needs.
First of all, you need to understand what a work-related injury determination is. The determination of work-related injury refers to the administrative confirmation by the social insurance administrative department on whether an employee's injury or occupational disease due to an accident is a work-related injury or is regarded as a work-related injury. If it is determined that it is a work-related injury, the injured employee can enjoy work-related injury insurance benefits, including ** expense reimbursement, work-related injury allowance, disability allowance, etc. For minor injuries, if the injury is not serious, the cost is not high, and it does not affect the ability to work and career development, then a work-related injury determination may not be required. It is possible to negotiate with the employer to cover the medical expenses and give appropriate compensation.
However, if the injury is severe, requires a longer period of time, or may have an impact on work ability and career development, then a work-related injury determination is recommended. This ensures that injured employees are covered by work-related injury insurance, reducing their financial burden and receiving the protection they deserve.
In addition, even if the injury is not serious, if there is a dispute or if the employer does not recognize the work-related injury, a work-related injury determination is required. Through the work-related injury identification procedure, it can be clarified whether the injured employee is a work-related injury and the legitimate rights and interests of the employee can be protected.
In short, whether a minor injury needs to be determined as a work-related injury needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis and based on individual needs. If the injury is serious or disputed, it is recommended to carry out a work-related injury determination in time to ensure that the rights and interests of the injured employee are protected.
