In every working environment, employees are quite likely to encounter injuries that may impact their health and result in the need for medical attention, and this translates to the need for compensation. However, compensation is based on existing laws in different countries and the policies developed by each company. In Western Australia, The Workers Compensation Act of 1981 is instrumental in guiding the mode and procedure of employee compensation as well as the process to be followed when either of the stakeholders falls short of the Acts requirement. Workers’ compensation is defined as the financial support provided to workers who become injured or sick due to their work. Compensation usually covers a variety of financial impacts which include: medical expenses, loss of earnings, rehabilitation program expenses as well as financial support for the permanent impairment (Piechowski, 2013). In Western Australia, the WorkCover WA is responsible for ensuring the smooth implementation of workers’ compensation schemes by ensuring that all stakeholders adhere to the Workers compensation and injury Management Act of 1981 (WorkCover WA, 2021). According to the Workers compensation and injury Management Act 1981, employers should always have an insurance cover to cater for financial impacts due to injuries of workers at the workplace (Oliphant & Wagner, 2012). Additionally, the act ensures that workers remain protected by ensuring that during the injuries, they receive compensation for the incurred expenses or lost wages while they are unable to perform their duties. It is therefore mandatory for Western Australia employers to have an insurance cover that covers all their employees as well as a documented injury management system (Floyd et al., 2017; Willis et al., 2019). The importance of the employer having the insurance cover is that it protects the employer and the workers from the associated financial impact that occurs when an employee encounters a work-related injury. This paper analyses a case study that requires employee compensation after an injury during a road accident while at work and gives detailed data about the worker’s eligibility for compensation. Additionally, the paper state the obligations of key stakeholders in the case study and establishes the likelihood of the employee’s claim being approved. Lastly, the paper discusses the necessary steps required to manage the worker’s injury by utilization of a return-to-work program. Workers Compensation Eligibility Factors There are several factors in the case study that indicate the eligibility of the worker for compensation of injury. To start with, the patient got the injury while driving a light vehicle, recommended as the primary mode of transport by the company, as he was traveling from the work premise to the residential area. This means that he was still within working hours and was following employer policies. Despite the laboratory operator driving with dipped lights at a corner, he was driving at the acceptable speed of 80 kilometers per hour which is even below the recommended speed of 90 kilometers per hour. This is an indicator that the patient did not break the law by any mean
