The Ministry of Employment in Fiji has been allocated six million dollars to address pending cases of death and injury in a move to streamline workplace compensation processes.
This allocation is a transitional phase in managing compensation for workplace incidents, as the Ministry has traditionally been heavily involved in assessments and related activities.
Under the new arrangement, state employees will receive compensation directly from the Ministry, aiming to enhance efficiency and oversight of compensation processes.
The Accident Compensation Commission of Fiji (ACCF) will continue to play a pivotal role in processing these cases, providing continuity and reliability.
The collaboration between the Ministry of Employment and the ACCF is a testament to their shared commitment to improving accountability and streamlining operations in workplace injury compensation, demonstrating a united front working together to better the system.
