<description><![CDATA[Workers compensation is what employers and their insurance companies will provide to employees who are duly injured while at work. Of course, for office workers there are fewer types of bodily injuries that can occur, but there are some situations where it occurs. The most pressing issue would probably be something along the lines of stress induced symptoms at the computer, such as carpal tunnel or neck disorders. There could also be accidents that occur that are unforeseen, such as something being dropped, or slipping on wet floors. All of these constitute workplace injuries because they happen on the site of the employer's property. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Workers compensation is like any other insurance, in that it's something that you don't typically think about until an accident happens, and then there's a pressing need to understand everything about it. Unlike a traditional insurance, you control very little if anything associated with it because you weren't the one who signed the policy, argued the clauses, or pay premiums every month. That's a task your employer takes care of; however, to file a claim, that ends up being a lot like a normal insurance. So how exactly do you file a claim for workers compensation?]]></description>

It pays out a monthly payment in the amount that is agreed upon or stipulated in your policy that reflects your income at the start of your policy.
