PrintWork-related accidents causing death
If an employee dies as a result of an accident (or an occupational disease specified in theĀ ECO) arising out of and in the course of employment, then the employer is liable to pay compensation for death to the surviving members of the family. Compensation for death is calculated with reference to the age and monthly earnings of the deceased employee as follows (section 6 of the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance).
For work injuries caused by accidents happening on or after 13 April 2023
