A legal comparison between South African, Canadian and Australian workmen's compensation lawJansen van Vuuren, Johanna Petronella 04 1900 (has links)
Workers’ compensation originated internationally because of the need to address
the plight of workers and communities left destitute due to occupationally sustained
disabilities or death. This study examines how the right to no-fault compensation
developed in South Africa in comparison to the comparable law in Canada and
Australia. Specific limitations regarding the right to workers' compensation
pursuant to the South African compensatory laws were identified. Limitations
identified include the persons falling within the ambit of the law, circumstances
creating a right to compensation, the right to claims for increased compensation
uniquely provided for in South African compensatory law and founded in the
negligent conduct of employers as well as common law redress for damages. The
background of the administrative remedy in the form of the right to compensation
for occupational injuries and diseases ought to be seen in the light of the
Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996. / Mercantile Law / LL.M.

Extending the workers' compensation act 1987 (N.S.W.) to include independent contractors and to allow more highly paid workers to insure fully their income, with particular reference to engineers.Williamson, Brian Cleveland, mikewood@deakin.edu.au January 1992 (has links)
In mid-1987, the existing workers compensation system in New South Wales was replaced by a new Scheme, called WorkCover. While WorkCover solved a number of the financial problems that had plagued its predecessor, its enactment created other issues. Furthermore, WorkCover has failed to deal with a number of gaps in providing compensation for occupational injuries, most notably those suffered by independent contractors. By combining a study of aspects of industrial law and industrial relations, this thesis will examine some of those problems and gaps, in particular:
(a) Should WorkCover be amended to enable independent contractors to come within its ambit?
(b) Should there be additional insurance cover available (known as top-up insurance) to insure those parts of workers wages presently left unprotected by WorkCover?
(c) Should workers be permitted to take out another form of top-up insurance to increase the quantum of death cover presently provided by the Scheme?
(d) Should independent contractors who arc permitted to enter WorkCover also be permitted to obtain the extended cover set out in (b) and (c) above?
Where appropriate, the thesis compares WorkCover to the workers compensation schemes in other Australian jurisdictions. It develops each of the matters referred to above by referring to the results of the writers survey of members of the Institution of Engineers (NSW Branch) which was conducted in May and June 1991.

Workers' compensation facing current issues : comparative analysis between Japan and CanadaTakizawa, Ayumi January 2005 (has links)
Karoshi, or death from overwork, is a tragic modern work event. Continuous occurrence of karoshi in Japan offers an opportunity to reconsider the contemporary working environment, and especially the workers' compensation system. Strongly bound by the traditional notion of work accident, the Japanese workers' compensation system has shown difficulty handling karoshi cases. This fact calls into question the adequacy of the current workers' compensation scheme in the work environment it is meant to oversee. To analyze the issue, this thesis will use a comparative law method. The basis of comparison will be Ontario, Canada, which shares a system similar to Japan's, but does not produce karoshi cases. Particular emphasis will be put on stress claims and claims from women, since both share some similarities with karoshi claims. The findings from this comparison will offer a valuable basis for discussion of the current and the future of workers' compensation and other protection systems in Japan.

Robust performance benchmarking : an application of multivariate and data envelopment analysis at the Workers’ Compensation BoardTang, Kevin Berenato 05 1900 (has links)
Compensation Services manages return to work, wage loss, pension and health-care benefits
to injured workers, and those suffering from occupational diseases. This thesis presents the
methodology and results of a comprehensive study conducted to determine the relationships
between existing performance measures, quantify the factors influencing these performance
measures, and deterrriine relative efficiencies across case management operations.
We use principal components analysis, cluster analysis, and multiple regression to derive the
relationships between performance outcomes and influencing factors. We then use data
envelopment analysis, incorporating these multiple inputs and outputs, to assess overall
relative efficiencies and set performance targets.
The analysis has brought about an increased understanding of service delivery location
performance and performance measurement. Results may be used to provide managerial
decision support, communicate best practices, and serve as a basis for further efficiency or
quality initiatives. The factors accounted for in the multivariate analysis can explain between
20% - 50% of the variability in key performance outcomes across case management desks.
The overall efficiency analysis revealed strong performers both within case management
offices and across regions. Four case management offices consistently contain strongperforming
case management desks across several methods of evaluating efficiency.
Transferring best practices has the potential to significantly increase relative efficiency
improvements for case management desks across the province.
