The Ministry of Labor Supports Occupationally Injured Workers to Stably Return to the Workplace, Providing a Maximum Subsidy of 70% of their Salary

  • Last Modify Date:2023-11-24

In accordance with the implementation of the Labor Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act, the Ministry of Labor has established the "Regulations Governing Subsidies from the Municipality and County (City) Governments for Assisting Workers Suffering from Occupational Accidents to Return to Work." The government provides subsidies and supportive measures for suffering from work-related injury or illness workers to return to the workplace as early as possible. For employers and employees who meet necessary criteria, they can apply for subsidies for assistive devices, allowances for occupational rehabilitation, and funds for businesses to employ suffering from work-related injury or illness workers. If a business continues to employ a worker who becomes disabled due to a work-related injury or employs workers due to occupational accidents from other businesses, and if stable employment is maintained for more than 6 months, the business is eligible for subsidies based on the number of hired employees, the disability level of the occupationally injured worker, and proportions of 30%, 50%, and 70% of the average monthly insured salary, for a maximum period of up to 12 months.

Since the Labor Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act has been enacted, the Ministry of Labor has stepped up efforts in providing rehabilitation services for workers suffering from work-related injury or illness. The Ministry collaborates with local governments and certified medical institutions to provide professional care, so as to help workers maintain productivity and mitigate the risks to workers and their families. Professional service personnel from local governments, upon receiving notifications of occupational injuries at the front line and based on the needs of the workers, will connect them with occupational medicine, social welfare, and rehabilitation resources. In addition, the Ministry collaborates with local governments to provide return-to-work subsidies, hoping to encourage occupationally injured workers to return to work in a much more proactive manner.
