Workers compensation is a legal remedy whereby an employee who is injured on the job may be entitled to certain benefits. The benefits can include medical care for the injury, indemnity wage benefits, vocational rehabilitation services, and/or death benefits. These benefits are the obligation of the employer and are paid directly to the employee by the employer or its workers compensation insurer.
Workerâs compensation in Pennsylvania is governed by the Pennsylvania Workersâ Compensation Act, and administered by the state Department of Labor and Industries. Workersâ compensation is responsible for providing benefits to workers that sustain an injury on the job or an illness related to their work. Benefits are paid in one of three ways: by private insurance companies that provide workersâ compensation insurance, by the State Workersâ Insurance Fund (the stateâs insurance), or by the employer if the employer is self-insured.
