Compensation Fund is an entity of the Department of Employment and Labour.
It is responsible for the provision of compensation, pension and medical benefits as well as rehabilitation services to employees who are injured or contracted diseases during the course of their employment.
The Department of Employment and Labour’s Compensation Fund, through Vocational Rehabilitation Programme, aims to improve the standard of living of previously employed persons who suffered occupational injuries or diseases and subsequently lost their jobs by taking part in training and development initiatives to enable them to be reintegrated into the workplace or become self-sustainable.
In addition, there are additional social welfare benefits in the form of a bursary for the dependents of COID Pensioners and Fatally Injured Workers to fund post-secondary education.
