Is it considered an work-related injury if, on the way back to work after the National Day holiday, one crashes into another vehicle and gets injured?
Shift handovers, starting work, and the journey to work in the morning should be counted; holidays should not be counted
It counts as the journey to the workplace for formal work; it’s a place where one goes to rest and stay, so it shouldn’t be counted. But on the journey from Tibet to Beijing, there are many possible purposes for such a trip
One of my colleagues had a minor accident on his way to work by electric bike. I checked whether he had violated any regulations, and it seems that if one has broken the rules themselves, it cannot be considered an occupational injury.

Firstly, time off is unrelated to work; secondly, in the case of a rear-end traffic accident, one might be held primarily responsible, so it does not count as a work-related injury.
During the break period, it certainly cannot be considered a work-related injury
Was it the boss who called and told him to go back yesterday?
Personally, I don’t think so. First of all, the location is incorrect; it’s on the way back from vacation, and the destination is home, not the workplace； Secondly, there are not many routes; in the context of work-related injuries, the commute refers to the journey from home to the company, not the return journey on a trip ； Finally, it’s the issue of the wrong time period – it refers to a certain timeframe during working hours, and there should be some rules regarding this (I’m not entirely sure), rather than over ten hours or several days.
Not counted. There should be insurance companies. Just file an insurance claim and that’s it. Claims processing is fast too!
Even if it’s the boss who calls him and tells him to return, it probably doesn’t count; **it’s the relevant departments that decide. Sometimes companies think an expense should be approved, but it’s still rejected. Should the business owner be more generous and cover the cost out of his own pocket?
