Employees Compensation Act, 2009

This consolidated edition combines the amended statutory text (Workmen’s Compensation / Employees’ Compensation framework as affected by the 2009 amendment) with plain-English annotations and practitioner tools to convert law into action. The book explains employer liability for accidents “arising out of and in the course of employment,” the computation of compensation for death and permanent/temporary disablement, and recent changes introduced by the 2009 amendment (which revised compensation limits and modernised language). It also explains the statutory requirement to reimburse actual medical expenditure incurred for treatment of workplace injuries. Procedural chapters cover reference to the Commissioner, limitation considerations, settlement pathways, and prosecution of defaulting employers. Helpful annexures include compensation computation tables, model claim petitions, sample settlement formats, checklist for medical evidence and a quick-reference glossary of occupational disease entries. Whether you are preparing claims, advising employers on risk transfer and insurance, or studying labour law, this compact, practice-oriented volume saves time by placing statute, worked examples and filing templates in one convenient reference.
