In the event of a workplace accident, the damage is often not limited to personal injury. Damaged watches, broken mobile phones, or destroyed clothing can impose an additional financial burden in what is already a complex situation. As an employee, you have the right to compensation for damage to your personal belongings in connection with a workplace injury—and in this article, we will explain how to effectively assert this right.
Workplace Injury and Permanent Consequences as an Impact on Employee Health. What Are the Claims for Workplace Injury Compensation? More in Our Article.
Workplace injuries can affect an employee's life not only in terms of health but also financially, with consequences that extend over a longer time horizon. The result may be a prolonged impairment of the employee's work capacity. Initially, the employee operates under the regime of temporary incapacity for work.
Workplace accidents present not only a health risk but also a financial burden for employees. In cases of long-term sickness, employees often rely on sickness benefits, which, however, do not cover the full salary they were receiving from their employer before the workplace accident. If you are injured at work, you are entitled to compensation for lost earnings, which should cover the difference between the sickness benefits you are receiving and the amount you would typically earn from your employer if the accident had not occurred.
Part of the work performance is the arrangement of a regular workplace. This refers to the determination of the location where the employee is to perform work for the employer according to the contract. However, situations may arise in the work process where the employer needs the employee to perform a certain task outside of the agreed workplace. This may involve the need to secure a work task, negotiate a contract, or otherwise represent the employer in a location different from the usual workplace. A deployment outside the regular workplace is referred to as a business trip. In this context, the employee has several statutory entitlements that help cover expenses and compensate for the time spent away from the usual workplace.

An employee may temporarily lose the ability to perform assigned work during the course of their employment. This refers to a situation in which the employee wishes to perform the work but is unable to do so due to an adverse health condition, such as an occupational disease or work-related injury (or other causes).
