事关工伤认定等 新规发布维护职工和用人单位合法权益

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has released opinions to clarify the application of the Work Injury Insurance Regulations, enhancing the understanding of work injury recognition and protecting the rights of employees and employers [1][2]. Group 1: Work Injury Recognition - The opinions specify that commuting to and from work is considered work-related if it follows a reasonable route and timeframe, and if the employee is not primarily responsible for a traffic accident [1]. - For injuries sustained during home office work, if there is sufficient evidence that the injury occurred due to work-related reasons, it should be recognized as a work injury, despite being at home [2]. - Simple communication through messaging or calls does not qualify as work-related injuries [2]. Group 2: Medical Treatment and Liability - Medical malpractice during the treatment of a work-related injury does not affect the original recognition of the work injury, but compensation for malpractice is not covered by the work injury insurance fund [1]. - The opinions clarify that in cases of illegal subcontracting or personal affiliations, the rights of workers regarding work injuries will be better protected, with the responsible parties held accountable for work injury insurance [2]. Group 3: Adjustment of Benefits - Adjustments to benefits for injured workers will occur based on changes in disability assessment results, with allowances and care fees adjusted from the month following the final assessment, while one-time disability compensation remains unchanged [3].
