Abstract

• This research will focus on the benefits for employment injury under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 and the problems of not losing worker’s rights in the injury case. Employment injury means a worker who suffers injuries by an accident arising out of and in the course of employment. A safe and healthy working environment is very important for the worker. It is the duty of the employer and the worker. On the part of the employer, they need to provide a safe and healthy working environment for the prevention of danger to their workers. Similarly, every worker has to abide by the workplace rules and disciplines. In the analytical study, in Myanmar, if a worker is caused by injury at work, he has the right to file for workers’ compensation. His employer shall be liable to pay compensation under the provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 if an injured worker is not covered by the Social Security Law, 2012. Under the Social Security Law, 2012, if a worker is an insured person, he or she has the right to enjoy benefits prescribed by the Law. However, there is a situation that cannot be entitled to receive compensation or enjoy benefits. As a result of this study, the amount of compensation payable is inadequate and insufficient for the current situation. Relating to the amount of compensation, the provisions of the amount of compensation under the Bill of Workmen’s Compensation Law, 2018 is more than the amount of compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923.
