What is Work Injury Compensation Insurance in Singapore?

Work Injury Compensation Insurance (WICA insurance) is mandatory under the Work Injury Compensation Act, ensuring businesses provide financial protection to employees in the event of workplace accidents or occupational diseases.

At David Ho, we design tailored WICA insurance plans in Singapore that go beyond compliance. Our coverage ensures employees receive prompt medical care and financial support while protecting businesses from unexpected liabilities. Plans typically include:

  • Medical expenses for treatment and hospitalization
  • Wage replacement for temporary absence from work
  • Lump-sum compensation for permanent disability or death

By choosing the right WICA insurance, you protect both your employees and your organization’s reputation.

Comprehensive WICA Insurance Coverage for Workmen

Our WICA insurance policies offer extensive coverage to address various aspects of work-related injuries:

Medical Expenses Coverage for Work-Related Injuries

WICA insurance covers all necessary medical expenses incurred due to a work-related injury, ensuring that your employees receive the best possible care without financial strain.

Compensation for Lost Wages

If an employee is unable to work due to an injury, our WICA insurance provides compensation for lost wages, helping them maintain their livelihood during recovery.

Permanent Disability and Death Compensation

In the unfortunate event of permanent disability or death, WICA insurance offers substantial benefits to support the affected employee or their family, providing financial stability during challenging times.
