There are three main types of financial support:
- Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) — mandatory payment from the employer during temporary incapacity.
- Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) — a government benefit if the injury or illness at work leads to long-term disability. It is awarded after a medical assessment and does not depend on employer fault.
- Work injury compensation (Personal Injury Claim) — a financial payment if it is proven the injury was caused by the employer’s fault. The compensation is paid as a lump sum after case review. This is the type of payment the it happens team assists with.
