▎After an occupational accident,occupational injury and sickness leave can be claimed for rehabilitation and follow-up medical appointments
I broke my arm in an accident at work and although rehabilitation has gone pretty well since removing the cast, the doctor said I should undertake regular rehabilitation for my muscle and joint function to return to normal. Can I continue to claim occupational injury and sickness leave during the rehabilitation period?
If you are an institutional care worker or industry category foreign worker covered by the Labor Standards Act then during the treatment and recuperation period after an injury at work the employer should provide occupational injury and sickness leave. After a worker recovers and returns to the workplace, if there are follow-up medical appointments or rehabilitation the employer should continue to provide such leave.
