New legislation
From 1 January 2026, work-related injuries will officially be divided into four categories according to severity. The aim of the new regulation is to simplify the assessment of the consequences of injuries and to make the obligations of employers and the claims of employees clearer.
A major new feature is thedivision into fatal, serious, minor and minor work injuries. For example, if an employee is hospitalised for more than five days, it will be a serious accident. Injuries with less than three days’ incapacity will no longer require a detailed record. The new breakdown should contribute to better prevention and fairer compensation.
Although the average employee may not be interested in detailed reporting, it is the correct classification of an injury that can affect the amount of compensation. Therefore, it is important to report the injury early and make sure it is recorded in accordance with the new rules.
