If you are unable to work due to an injury or occupational disease arising out of the performance of your duties and you are unable to receive your original salary and are undergoing medical treatment, you may apply for occupational injury and disease compensation from the fourth day after you are unable to work. Basically, for the same injury or disease, there is no explicit provision requiring that the fourth day of a worker's inability to work must immediately follow four consecutive days of such inability. However, the Bureau of Labor Insurance will evaluate and decide the number of reasonable days for rest and recuperation and whether or not to approve the injury and disease benefits when it receives an application for injury and disease benefits.

In accordance with the Labor Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act, the insurance coverage for workers employed by registered business entities is effective from the date of their arrival at work. Even if the employer does not apply for the workers' participation in the insurance, the workers can still apply for occupational accident insurance benefits if they encounter occupational injury and disease incidents.
 

In addition, in order to fulfill the employer's insurance obligations under the Act, in addition to imposing fines of NT$20,000 to NT$100,000, the name of the employer's business entity and the names of its person in charge will be disclosed. If the workers apply for insurance benefits during the uninsured period, the insurer will recover the amount of the insurance benefits from the employer after the issuance of the insurance benefits.

The insured can apply for subsidy due to an occupational accident under the following circumstances:

1. A daily subsidy of NT$1,200 per day for care during hospitalization, from the date of admission and the date the insured becomes eligible to claim occupational injury and disease benefits to the date of discharge from the hospital.

2. When you are disabled as a result of an occupational injury and disease and apply for occupational accident insurance disability benefits, If your disability meets the disability items of the First Level or Second Level set forth in the Attached Table of Article 3 of the Labor Insurance Disability Benefit Payment Standards, and your disability status is listed as incapable of work for the rest of your life, you will be paid NT$12,400 per month for a maximum of 5 years.
