CoverageAll companies that employ workers must provide this coverage. The employer bears the burden of paying premiums, workers are not responsible for payments.[5][6] PremiumsAs of April 2012, the maximum premium rate is 10.3% (for construction work and the like) and the minimum is 0.3% (for work that is mostly clerical). 0.005% is added to the above premium to fund benefits for asbestos-induced diseases.[7] For example, for an office worker earning 250,000 yen per month the premium the employer would have to pay would be around 750 yen. BenefitsBenefits are paid for any illness, injury, disability or death incurred as a result of an accident caused by work or while commuting.[8][9][10] Medical Compensation BenefitAs long as injured workers visit a designated hospital for treatment they will not have to pay any costs themselves, it will all be covered by the insurance. If they visit a non-designated hospital they will be charged as usual but can receive a refund later. Costs for medical treatment at home and transportation are also covered. Lost Wage BenefitFrom the fourth day of missed work onward the insurance covers two-thirds of a worker's lost earnings. This is for workers who are on leave without pay. Illness or Injury Compensation PensionIf a worker has not recovered within 18 months they may be eligible to receive this pension. Disability Pension BenefitWhen disability remains after treatment the worker may be eligible to receive this pension. There are 14 levels of disability covering around 140 types of disability. The worker will receive payment either as a lump sum or pension depending on their circumstances. Bereaved Family Compensation BenefitThis is provided to family members who had been financially supported by a worker who died due to a work-related accident.
