It was first introduced in 2019 and then officially implemented in January 2020. The government&#8217;s main goal in administering WICA has been to promote fairness between employers and employees in cases of occupational injury.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sso.agc.gov.sg\/Act\/WICA2019\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this legislation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was introduced, workers who were injured on the job were forced to pursue common law claims against their employers in order to receive compensation. This lengthy, costly, and complicated process disincentivized many from seeking justice and left them vulnerable to financial strain. WICA aims to make the process simpler, more accessible, and less costly for employees so they can focus on their recovery without added stress.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-689ca78 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"689ca78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a0bc88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a0bc88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is Workers' Compensation Required In Singapore?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa2a60c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa2a60c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workers&#8217; compensation is required for almost all manual workers in Singapore, regardless of their position or salary level. Both local and foreign employees are entitled to compensation should they suffer a work-related injury or disease, which is defined by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) as &#8220;any unintended event that occurs in the course of work (excluding domestic work) that leads to an injury or condition&#8221;.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers are also expected to provide staff who perform non-manual work and earn a salary of $2,600 or less a month &#8211; excluding overtime pay, bonus pay, annual wage supplements, and productivity incentive payments &#8211; with workers&#8217; compensation insurance coverage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claims can be made up to one year after the date of the accident or diagnosis of an occupational disease.
