Case analysis: Should the following situation be classified as a work-related injury? (1) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1557912-1-1.html Conclusion: It should be recognized as a work-related injury. The situation in which Yue collapsed due to a sudden illness and suffered head injuries falls within the circumstances stipulated by the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance. Although Yue suffered from a sudden illness and fell to the ground, resulting in injuries, this incident occurred outside of his regular working hours. However, employees are required by their employer to report to the workplace within a specified time frame to receive their wages; this requirement is clearly related to their work duties. Therefore, it should be regarded as a situation where the employer temporarily assigned work to the employee. Consequently, the fact that he suddenly fell unconscious due to illness during working hours and at the workplace, thereby sustaining head injuries, should be recognized as a work-related injury. (Already rewarded) Case analysis: Should the following situation be classified as a work-related injury? (2) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1558194-1-1.html Conclusion: It should be regarded as a work-related injury. The human resources and social security department believes that although employees’ participation in disaster relief efforts may not necessarily be directly related to their regular job duties, such behavior should still be encouraged and protected by ** and society; any injuries suffered as a result should be covered. According to the \"Interpretation of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance\" issued by the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, any act similar to those carried out in emergency rescue and disaster relief should be considered as an act aimed at protecting **interests as well as the public interest. In such cases, the determination of a work-related injury is not restricted by factors such as working hours, workplace, or cause of work; therefore, it is regarded as a work-related injury. (Reward already given) Case analysis: Should the following situation be classified as a work-related injury? (3) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1558204-1-1.html Conclusion: It cannot be classified as a work-related injury. The human resources and social security department ruled that Zhu’s death could not be classified as a work-related injury, but Zhu’s relatives were dissatisfied with this decision and believed it should be considered a work-related injury; they subsequently applied for administrative reconsideration. The Foshan Human Resources and Social Security Bureau believes that the place where Zhu fell ill was not his workplace or within its boundaries; moreover, it cannot be considered an extension of his workplace. He was not performing his job duties at the time of illness, nor was he at his work location, so it cannot be classified as a work-related injury. (Already rewarded) Case analysis: Should the following situation be classified as a work-related injury? (4) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1560975-1-1.html Conclusion: It should be recognized as a work-related injury. After being accepted by the human resources and social security department, the incident was recognized as a work-related injury. However, the company filed administrative reconsideration and administrative litigation proceedings; both instances resulted in the confirmation of the decision regarding the recognition of the work-related injury. The human resources and social security department believes that a workplace refers not only to the place where employees perform their daily work, but also to the areas that employees must traverse when moving between multiple workplaces. The location where salesperson Liu had the traffic accident is a route he must take for his work; therefore, it should be regarded as a reasonable extension of his workplace and falls within the scope of the workplace. Hence, it is recognized as a work-related injury. @Wang*nhua77020 @B0SS @cflt111 @hanyu*a8 @NoRegrets @764970655 @WatcherStars @wuzhang001 @jlszhoujidai @zjzcl168 @xxp3232 @Wang Xiaoxiao Bai Bai @Zhang Zhangzhong Case analysis: Should the following situations be classified as work-related injuries? (5) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1562245-1-1.html Conclusion: Cai was diagnosed by the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention as suffering from heatstroke (an occupational disease); accordingly, the municipal social insurance administration authorities determined it to be a work-related injury. In accordance with regulations such as the Work-related Injury Insurance Regulations, the Municipal Labor Dispute Arbitration Commission ruled that Cai is entitled to work-related injury insurance benefits such as medical treatment for work-related injuries and salary during the period of suspension from work, which is in line with relevant legal provisions. **Departments such as the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the **General Administration of Work Safety, and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions have issued documents outlining measures to strengthen heat prevention and cooling efforts in workplaces during the summer, setting out specific regulations regarding criteria for high temperatures, heat prevention requirements, identification of heatstroke cases, and benefits related to work-related injuries. @zlx82606681 @zjzcl168 @wuzhang001 Case analysis: Should the following situation be classified as a work-related injury? (6) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1562231-1-1.html Conclusion: The municipal labor dispute arbitration committee accepted this case; Cheng was rated as having a disability level of 7 by the municipal labor ability assessment committee. In accordance with regulations such as the Work Injury Insurance Regulations, it was determined that the compensation agreement between the company and Cheng was illegal, and the company was required to pay Cheng a total of 103,000 yuan in work injury insurance benefits. The construction company disagreed and filed a lawsuit with the local people’s court. The people’s court held that the compensation agreement regarding treatment terms reached between the construction company and Mr. Cheng was grossly unfair and did not comply with the regulations and policies related to work-related injury insurance; therefore, it upheld the decision rendered by the city’s labor dispute arbitration committee. @xxp3232 @zjzcl168 @B0SS – the three of them won. The key point in answering this case is that arbitration has already been applied for, with the crucial aspect being that the compensation amount is manifestly unfair. @B0SS is the only debater, invincible! ^_^ Case analysis: Should the following situations be classified as work-related injuries? (7) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1566034-1-1.html Conclusion: This is a fairly clear case of a work-related injury. Article 14(1) of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulates that an injury sustained due to work reasons during working hours and in the workplace is considered a work-related injury. Although Mr. Ma volunteered to help, the company’s relevant personnel did not stop him; instead, they permitted and accepted his participation in the work ； At the same time, the accident occurred at the workplace, and an injury was sustained as a result of work. Therefore, in this accident, Ma should be considered to have suffered a work-related injury. @zjzcl168 @jlszhoujidai @wang*nhua77020 @cflt111 Case Analysis (8): How would you make the decision? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1566803-1-1.html Conclusion: Both the local labor dispute arbitration committee and the people’s court determined during the proceedings that the construction company failed to handle Qi’s claims related to work-related injuries in accordance with regulations such as the Work-Related Injury Insurance Regulations. As a result, they ordered the construction company to pay Qi a one-time compensation of 98,000 yuan for those work-related injury benefits. In accordance with the provisions of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, where employers and employees participate in the social pooling system for work-related injury insurance in accordance with the law, the benefits related to work-related injuries that employees are entitled to shall be paid respectively by the work-related injury insurance fund and the employer ； For those who are not covered by work-related injury insurance, all the benefits that employees are entitled to under such insurance shall be borne by the employer. As can be seen from this case, the construction company neither participated in the local work-related injury insurance system in accordance with the law nor handled Qi’s work-related injury benefits in line with relevant regulations and policies; its handling of the matter was clearly unfair. @zlx82606681 @wang*nhua77020 @wuzhang001 The key points in answering this question are: first, the failure to participate in the local work-related injury insurance program as required by law; second, the obviously unfair handling of the issue. Case Analysis (9): How do you decide? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1568266-1-1.html Conclusion: In accordance with regulations such as the Work-related Injury Insurance Regulations, the city’s labor dispute arbitration committee ruled that the compensation agreement reached between the coal mine and Mr. Long did not comply with relevant laws and policies; therefore, the coal mine was required to pay Mr. Long a one-time compensation of 385,000 yuan for his work-related injury insurance benefits. The coal mine disagreed and filed a lawsuit with the people’s court. The people’s court held that the agreement between the coal mine and Mr. Long was manifestly unfair, and upheld the decision rendered by the city’s labor dispute arbitration committee. As can be seen from this case, the coal mine failed to enroll its employees in work-related injury insurance in accordance with the law, nor did it handle the benefits of employees who suffered work-related injuries in line with relevant policy regulations. The compensation agreement reached through private negotiation between the coal mine and Mr. Long is both illegal and highly unfair. @xxp3232 @zjzcl168 @zdl1966 @wang*nhua77020 @cflt111 The key issues are: first, failure to participate in the local work-related injury insurance system in accordance with the law; second, the handling of the issue is clearly unfair. Case Analysis (10): How do you make a decision? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1568271-1-1.html Conclusion: The local county administrative department for human resources and social security verified that the company had not been registered, and determined that it engaged in illegal employment practices. The Municipal Labor Ability Assessment Committee assessed Tian as having a disability grade of four. In October 2012, the county labor dispute arbitration committee, in accordance with regulations such as the Work-related Injury Insurance Regulations, ruled that the company should pay Mr. Tian a one-time compensation of 390,000 yuan for his related benefits. From this workplace injury case, it can be seen that, first, the company hired Tian without being registered, which constitutes illegal employment ； Second, Tian was injured at work, but the company failed to handle the related compensation matters in accordance with the established policies. Clear policy regulations have been established regarding how to handle insurance benefits for workers who suffer injuries or death as a result of illegal employment practices. Article 66 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulates that units without a business license or that have not been registered or filed in accordance with the law, as well as units whose business licenses have been revoked or whose registrations or filings have been canceled in accordance with the law, if they employ workers illegally (including child labor) and as a result such workers suffer accidents or contract occupational diseases, the employer shall provide one-time compensation to the injured or deceased workers and their close relatives. The standard for such compensation shall not be lower than the work-related injury insurance benefits specified in the regulations; the specific procedures shall be determined by the social insurance administrative department of the State Council. **In order to implement the \"Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance,\" the administrative department in charge of social insurance issued the \"Measures for One-time Compensation for Victims of Accidents in Unlicensed Employers\" (Order No. 15 of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security). These measures establish clear rules regarding the compensation to be provided during the medical treatment of employees (including child laborers) in unlicensed employers who suffer accidents or contract occupational diseases, as well as the one-time compensation for disabilities or death, and address disputes related to work-related injury insurance benefits. @trant323 @zjzcl168 @xxp3232 – All three of them identified the key points regarding this question: first, it was illegal to employ those workers; second, Tian was injured at work, and the company failed to handle the related compensation matters in accordance with the applicable regulations. @Wang*nhua77020 provided a fairly comprehensive answer, but they were on the wrong side, so they cannot win the award. ^_^ Case Analysis (11): How do you make the decision? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1568273-1-1.html Conclusion: The local labor dispute arbitration committee and the people’s court held that the coal mine had been participating in the local work-related injury insurance system since 2009, and it was lawful for the local social insurance agency to handle Yi’s death benefits in accordance with relevant policies. The requests made by Yi’s parents exceeded the scope stipulated by those policies; therefore, the courts ruled against supporting their requests and provided explanations regarding the relevant policies. Clear provisions have been established regarding the work-related injury insurance benefits that employees are entitled to in the event of suffering an accident or contracting an occupational disease while working. Article 39 of the Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance specifies the conditions and standards for entitlement to three types of benefits: funeral expenses for employees who die at work, work-related death allowances, and pensions for dependents. Therefore, in the case of employees of employers dying or being injured at work, matters related to their work-related injury insurance benefits shall be handled strictly in accordance with **policy regulations. Yi’s parents requested that the coal mine and the social insurance agency provide separate economic compensation for Yi’s death on the job; such requests are not in line with the regulations regarding work-related injury insurance. The local labor dispute arbitration committee and the people’s court did not support the requests of Yi’s parents; it was appropriate for the local social insurance agency to uphold its decision regarding the benefits related to Yi’s death at work. @zjzcl168: One winner. The requests of Yi’s parents exceed the **policy provisions and are not supported. @Wang*nhua77020 received a relatively complete response, but failed to choose a side, which is a pity as they missed out on the reward. Case Analysis (12): How do you decide? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1570427-1-1.html Conclusion: The social insurance administration department at Qu’s place of work, in accordance with Article 14 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, determined that Qu’s injury did not constitute a work-related injury, as it did not occur during commuting to or from work. Mr. Qu, dissatisfied with this decision, applied for administrative reconsideration to the people’s court in his place of work; the administrative reconsideration authority upheld the decision made by the social insurance administration department. Article 14, Paragraph (6) of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulates that the underlying legislative intent is to classify as work-related injuries those injuries sustained by employees on their way to and from work (along a reasonable route from the employee’s residence to the employer’s location), as a result of traffic accidents or accidents involving urban rail transit, passenger ferries, or trains, where the employee is not primarily at fault. In the case where Qu was injured in a car accident while on leave, the local social insurance administrative department determined that, first, the labor relationship between Qu and the company existed ； Secondly, the objective fact is clear: Qu took his annual leave as permitted to visit his parents, and was injured in a car accident on his way back to his workplace ； Third, the circumstances of Qu’s injury do not conform to the provisions of Article 14 of the Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance. Therefore, it was correct for the local social insurance administration department not to classify Qu’s injuries as work-related injuries. This case falls under civil injury, and Qu can receive compensation related to the traffic accident in accordance with relevant regulations. @zjzcl168 @Y130701 @xxp3232 @chuanhengmpq @B0SS @wuzhang001 @An Ran – seven people won awards. @zlx82606681 and @wang*nhua77020 expressed their opinions in great detail. Unfortunately, their views differ from those of the relevant authorities. Case Analysis (13): How do you make a decision? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1570428-1-1.html Conclusion: The local labor dispute arbitration authority ruled that Wang’s request to terminate the labor relationship with his employer was in compliance with the provisions of the Labor Contract Law ； The request to receive a one-time disability employment allowance is inconsistent with the legislative intent of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance (Decree No. 586 of the State Council), and Wang’s request was rejected. There is a lot of controversy around this question; it’s up to everyone to form their own opinion. Both this conclusion and analysis are based on actual cases. Articles 36 and 37 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulate that workers with work-related injuries classified as grades 5 to 10 may receive a one-time employment subsidy after terminating their labor relationship with their employers. Since the regulations are rather principle-based (they do not specify whether, once an assessment of the injured worker’s working capacity is completed, the worker should choose to terminate the employment relationship in order to receive such benefits, or whether the worker can continue working until near the legal retirement age before deciding to terminate the employment relationship to obtain those benefits), there are differences in understanding among social insurance authorities, courts, employers, and injured workers when dealing with such issues. The labor dispute arbitration institution where Wang works, in accordance with regulations such as the Social Insurance Law, the Labor Contract Law, and the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, adhered to the principles of legality and fairness, and it was appropriate to reject Wang’s request to terminate his employment relationship with his employer in order to receive a one-time employment subsidy at a time when he was close to the legal retirement age. @Wang*Nhua77020 won the award alone. Check the answer key for the key points; this question is quite controversial and highly subjective. @zjzcl168, @zlx82606681, and @trant323 provided quite detailed responses; it’s a pity that the court did not rule in their favor. Case Analysis (14): How do you make the decision? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1572278-1-1.html Conclusion: Article 14(5) of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulates that injuries sustained due to work reasons or incidents resulting in disappearance while on a business trip shall be recognized as work-related injuries. In this case, Mr. Qi’s injuries resulting from his efforts to acquire clients were injuries incurred due to his work ； Additionally, with the approval of the sales manager, the time and location of this event can be considered an extension of working hours and locations. @Trant323, @zjzcl168, @percy, and @wang*nhua77020 were the winners. Although @B0SS didn’t say everything, his way of answering was greatly appreciated by the adults, so he was rewarded^_^. There are two key points for this question: one is work-related reasons, and the other is getting the boss’s approval. @Jlszhoujidai bravely expressed his opinions; unfortunately, he was wrong. Case Analysis (15): How do you decide? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1572503-1-1.html Conclusion: Article 15 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance: An employee shall be regarded as having suffered a work-related injury under any of the following circumstances: (1) Dying suddenly from an illness at work and at the workplace, or dying within 48 hours despite emergency treatment ； (II) Those who were injured in activities to safeguard **interests and public interests, such as emergency rescue and disaster relief ； (III) Employees who were previously in the military, became disabled as a result of injuries sustained in combat or on duty, and have obtained a certificate for revolutionary disabled soldiers; such employees experience a recurrence of their old injuries after joining an employer. If an employee falls under the circumstances specified in item (3) of the preceding paragraph, they shall be entitled to work-related injury insurance benefits other than the one-time disability allowance, in accordance with the relevant provisions of these regulations. Therefore, as Zhu’s old injury has recurred, he is entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, which should be provided by his company in accordance with the relevant regulations for such cases. @Percy @zjzcl168 @B0SS @wuzhang001 @wang*nhua77020 – five people won awards. The key point of this question is to treat it as an occupational injury. Case Analysis (16): Is fighting at work considered an occupational injury? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1572499-1-1.html Conclusion: After conducting an investigation and verification, the Social Security Bureau issued a decision confirming the work-related injury. The company disagreed and applied for reconsideration to the Suzhou Labor and Social Security Bureau. The Municipal Bureau of Labor and Social Security issued a decision upholding the recognition of the work-related injury. Taicang Company believes that employees who get into fights during working hours have violated the company’s management rules, and classifying such incidents as work-related injuries constitutes an improper application of the law. On December 21, 2004, the company filed an administrative lawsuit with the local court, requesting that the court rule to revoke the work-related injury determination issued by the Social Security Bureau. After reviewing the case, the court held that grinding iron pipes was part of Cui’s job responsibilities while working at the plaintiff’s company on the day of the incident. During the course of his work, a dispute arose regarding the type of iron pipes to be ground, and Cui was injured as a result of Huang’s abusive behavior. In accordance with Article 14, Paragraph (3) of the Regulations, the court determined that Cui’s injury constituted a work-related injury, and thus the application of the relevant regulations was correct. Based on this, the court upheld in the first instance the work-related injury determination issued by the defendant’s social security bureau. After the first-instance judgment, the company was dissatisfied and filed an appeal with the Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court. The court of second instance issued a final judgment of “rejecting the appeal and upholding the original verdict”. @B0SS @wang*nhua77020: The two of them chose the right sides, had thorough debates, and won the award. Most of the netizens in this case responded that it should not be considered an occupational injury; I think people are probably judging Cui from an emotional standpoint and from a moral perspective, when in fact a rational judgment based on the law is what should be applied. Case Analysis (17): Is fighting at work considered an occupational injury? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1572510-1-1.html Conclusion: The focus of the dispute in this case is whether Ms. Li’s injury was caused by her work on the day before the incident; it occurred during working hours and at the workplace, as a result of performing her job duties, which meets the criteria for recognizing it as an occupational injury. After conducting an investigation, the opposing party’s Social Security Bureau determined that Ms. Li was injured by someone out of personal resentment, and therefore did not classify her injury as a work-related injury or one equivalent to such an injury. The court held that, in accordance with the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, injuries such as assaults suffered while performing job duties during working hours and in the workplace should be recognized as work-related injuries. The so-called “accidental injuries such as assault suffered while performing job duties” as mentioned in this regulation should be understood as injuries inflicted on employees by others as a result of their refusal to comply with the management requirements related to the performance of job duties; there must be a causal relationship between such assault injuries and the performance of job duties. Based on the facts established in this case, there is no inevitable causal relationship between the sexual assault suffered by Ms. Li and the plaintiff’s performance of her job duties. Since there was no employer-employee relationship between the plaintiff, Ms. Li, and Zhang and Wei, there was also no intention on the part of Zhang to cause harm to her due to her refusal to comply with the plaintiff’s work instructions. The reason why the plaintiff, Ms. Li, was injured by the perpetrator, Zhang, was due to a conflict between her and Zhang’s girlfriend, Wei; this conflict was not arising from work requirements or work-related matters. It is therefore determined that the circumstances of the plaintiff’s injury do not conform to the provisions of the Work-related Injury Insurance Regulations. Therefore, the court ruled in favor of the decision made by the Municipal Social Security Bureau to deny recognition of it as a work-related injury. According to the officials, Article 14, Paragraph (3) of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulates that if an employee suffers accidental injuries such as assaults while performing their job duties during working hours and in the workplace, it shall be recognized as a work-related injury. It can be seen that as long as enterprise employees suffer injuries due to the performance of their job duties during working hours and in the workplace, such injuries should be recognized as work-related injuries. As in Case 16, Mr. Cui’s “accidental injuries such as burns sustained while performing his job duties” should be recognized as work-related injuries. Similarly, according to this provision, \"injuries such as assault suffered while performing job duties\" should be understood as injuries caused by others who fail to comply with the management measures regarding employees’ performance of their duties, and there must be a causal relationship between such assault injuries and the performance of job duties. In this case, since there is no causal relationship between Bao Li’s injury and the performance of her job duties, Ms. Li cannot be classified as having suffered a work-related injury. Therefore, whether an injury sustained by an employee during a fight at work can be classified as a work-related injury cannot be determined in a one-size-fits-all manner. The key issue is whether the injury resulted from work requirements or work-related circumstances. @wang*nhua77020 @trant323 Two people won the award. The answer provided by Haiyou@chuanhengmpq also has aspects that merit discussion; when employees go to work at a company, shouldn’t the company also ensure their basic personal safety? This issue can be explored further if there is an opportunity in the future. Haiyou@BOSS got it right; it’s a pity he was on the pro side yet expressed opinions on behalf of the con side: lol. The key issue in this case is that Ms. Li was injured by others out of personal resentment, and there is no inevitable causal relationship with the performance of her job duties. Case Study (18): Who should cover their work-related injury insurance? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1574622-1-1.html Conclusion: Franchise stores do not directly belong to the company’s headquarters; they are either independent legal entities or branches of other independent legal entities. Employees of franchise stores should have an employment relationship with the franchise store. Huang should be an employee of the deli, and the deli should enter into a labor contract with Huang; there is therefore a labor relationship between Huang and the deli. According to Article 4 of the Social Insurance Law, the deli is required to pay social insurances such as work-related injury insurance for Mr. Huang. In accordance with the relevant provisions of Articles 14 and 62 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, Huang’s injury falls under the category of work-related injuries. The deli failed to pay insurance premiums for its employees’ work-related injuries, and when one of the employees, Mr. Huang, suffered an injury at work, the deli must pay him the appropriate compensation in accordance with the items and standards specified in the Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance. @Wang*Nhua77020 @zlx82606681 @zjzcl168 – three people won awards. The key point in answering this case is that there is a de facto labor relationship between Huang and the deli, and accordingly, the relevant compensation for work-related injuries should be paid to Huang. Case Study (19): Who should cover their work-related injury insurance? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1574626-1-1.html Conclusion: Article 3 of the reply issued by the Office of the former Ministry of Labor to the request regarding issues related to labor employment management stipulates that the apprenticeship period is a training method aimed at helping newly hired workers get familiar with their tasks and improve their work skills. Even after the implementation of the labor contract system, this training method should continue to be used, in accordance with the time frames specified by the technical standards. The probation period and apprenticeship period are included within the term of the labor contract. Both can be specified simultaneously, but the probation period shall not exceed six months. The former Ministry of Labor and Social Security’s “Notice on Matters Concerning the Establishment of Labor Relations” stipulates that where an employer hires a worker without entering into a labor contract, a labor relationship is established if the following conditions are met simultaneously. (1) The employer and the employee possess the subject qualifications required by laws and regulations ； (II) Various labor rules and regulations established by the employer in accordance with the law apply to the employees; the employees are subject to the employer’s labor management and perform paid work assigned by the employer ； (III) The labor provided by the worker is an integral part of the employer’s business. Therefore, a labor relationship was established between the auto repair shop and apprentice Cao. According to Article 57 of the \"Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the Labor Law\" issued by the Ministry of Labor, once an employment relationship is established between a worker and an employer, during the probation, training, or trial period, if the worker performs regular work within the statutory working hours, the employer shall pay him or her a wage that is not lower than the minimum wage standard. In accordance with Articles 2, 14, 21, and other relevant provisions of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, the auto repair shop is required to enroll Xiao Cao in work-related injury insurance; any injury suffered by Xiao Cao at work should be recognized as a work-related injury. The auto repair shop failed to provide Xiao Cao with work-related injury insurance, and it is the responsibility of the shop to cover the related benefits associated with such insurance. @zjzcl168 @jlszhoujidai @sy506304 – three people won awards. The key point in answering this case is that although Xiao Cao was an apprentice, a de facto labor relationship was established, so the car repair shop should be held responsible. Haiyou@xxp3232 pointed out the mistake of the boss not providing insurance for apprentices, but failed to address the issue at hand: the de facto employment relationship; it’s a pity. Case Analysis (20): Who should cover their work-related injury insurance? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1575402-1-1.html Conclusion: Labor relations cannot be determined by the length of time one has been employed. Article 7 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that an employer establishes a labor relationship with an employee as of the date of employment. There is no difference between long-term and short-term workers here. As long as an employment relationship is established between the employer and the employee, the employer shall, in accordance with Article 2 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance and Article 33 of the Social Insurance Law, pay work-related injury insurance for the employee. In the event of an injury at work that occurs despite the failure to pay insurance premiums for work-related injuries, the employer shall bear the liability for compensating the worker for such injury in accordance with Article 62 of the Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance and Article 41 of the Social Insurance Law. @jlszhoujidai @B0SS @wang*nhua77020 @cflt111 – four people won awards. This question is relatively simple; the key point is that an employment relationship cannot be determined by the length of time someone has been working. Once an employment relationship is established, insurance coverage for work-related injuries must be provided for the worker. Case Study (21): Who should cover their work-related injury insurance? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1577272-1-1.html Conclusion: The precise classification of business outsourcing should fall under business models rather than employment models. In nature, an outsourcing contract is similar to a contract for work. Although the employees of the contractor are stationed at the client’s site for a long time to carry out subcontracted work, and although most of them work in the client’s workplace and are even subject to the client’s management rules, they are not employees of the client; they have no labor relationship with the client. Nor are they dispatched workers sent by the contractor to the client’s site. Therefore, employees dispatched for business outsourcing are not subject to the provision of Article 92 of the Labor Contract Law, which states that \"if the employer causes damage to the dispatched worker, the labor dispatch agency and the employer shall bear joint and several liability for compensation.\" If employees dispatched for business outsourcing are injured at work, the responsibility should lie with the contractor, rather than being shared jointly by the client and the contractor. The contractor is a corporate entity that has completed the necessary industrial and commercial registration procedures and possesses the required qualifications; therefore, Article 86 of the \"People’s Republic of China Law on Work Safety\" does not apply: \"If a production or business operation entity assigns or leases its production or business operations, premises, or equipment to entities or individuals that do not meet the requirements for work safety or lack the necessary qualifications, it shall be ordered to make corrections within a specified time frame, and any illegal gains shall be confiscated.\" ； ……Those who cause production safety accidents that result in harm to others shall bear joint and several liability for compensation together with the contractor and tenant. ”And Article 94 of the Labor Contract Law, which states: \"If an individual contractor hires workers in violation of the provisions of this law, thereby causing harm to those workers, the organization that assigned the task to the contractor and the individual contractor shall bear joint and several liability for compensation.\" In accordance with Article 10 of the Labor Contract Law, Article 33 of the Social Insurance Law, and other relevant provisions, the labor contract shall be signed between Da Hui and Xiao Zhao, and Da Hui shall pay social insurances such as work-related injury insurance for Xiao Zhao. @BOSS @wang*nhua77020 – the two of them won awards.
