Where an employee has permanent total incapacity or current total incapacity resulting from a work injury, the amount of compensation calculated in accordance with the formula C + 0.25C must be paid in a lump sum, where C is —

subject to sub‑paragraphs (b) and (c), an amount obtained by multiplying the AME of the employee by the appropriate factor in the second column of Table B according to the age on the next birthday of the employee at the time of the accident as specified in the first column of Table B:TABLE BFirst columnSecond columnAgeMultiplying factor14 and below18115180161791717818178191772017621175221742317324172251702616927168281672916530164311623216033159341573515536153371513814939146401444114242140431384413645134461324713048128491265012451122521205311854116551145611157108581055910260996196629263876482657766 and above72;

if the amount obtained under sub‑paragraph (a) is less than $97,000 — $97,000; and

if the amount obtained under sub‑paragraph (a) is more than $289,000 — $289,000.3.—

Where an employee has permanent partial incapacity or current partial incapacity resulting from a work injury, the amount of compensation is to be —

in the case of an injury specified in the Fourth Schedule, such percentage of the compensation which would have been payable in the case of permanent total incapacity as is specified therein as being the percentage of the loss of earning capacity caused by that injury; and

in the case of an injury not specified in the Fourth Schedule, such percentage of the compensation which would have been payable in the case of permanent total incapacity as is proportionate to the loss of earning capacity caused by the injury (assuming it is permanent) in every employment which the employee was capable of undertaking at the time of the accident resulting in the incapacity.(2) Where more injuries than one are caused by the same accident the amount of compensation payable in respect of all such injuries are to be aggregated but not so as to exceed in any case the amount which would have been payable in respect of permanent total incapacity.4.—

Subject to sub‑paragraph (2), where temporary incapacity results from a work injury, the employee is entitled (for each day within a period of one year starting on the date of the accident that caused the work injury that the employee is on hospitalisation leave, medical leave or light duties granted due to the work injury) to periodical payments based on any one of the following amounts, as the case may be:

for the first 60 days of hospitalisation leave — the employee’s AME; (b)for any subsequent days of hospitalisation leave — two‑thirds of the employee’s AME; (c)for the first 14 days of medical leave and light duties —

when the employee is on medical leave — the employee’s AME; and

when the employee is on light duties — the shortfall (if any) in the employee’s actual wages for that period below the employee’s AME;

for any subsequent days of medical leave or light duties —

when the employee is on medical leave — two‑thirds of the employee’s AME; and

when the employee is on light duties — the shortfall (if any) in the employee’s actual wages for that period below two‑thirds of the employee’s AME.(2) No payment under sub‑paragraph (1) is to be deducted from the lump sum payable under paragraph 2 or 3 in respect of any permanent incapacity or current incapacity which follows any period of temporary incapacity.(3) If the temporary incapacity of the employee ceases before the date on which any payment under sub‑paragraph (1) falls due, the employee must be paid an amount as is appropriate to the duration of such temporary incapacity.(4) For the purposes of this paragraph, where an employee is certified by a health professional of an approved medical institution to be ill enough to need to be hospitalised but the employee is not hospitalised for any reason whatsoever, the employee is deemed to be hospitalised.(5) In this paragraph —

an employee’s actual wages during a period are the remuneration paid to the employee for that period and —

includes the following:

overtime payments;

travelling allowances and payments for travelling concessions;

allowances for food or housing;

contributions towards any pension or provident fund for the employee’s contribution or employer’s contribution under the Central Provident Fund Act (Cap. 36); but(ii)excludes payments to the employee to cover any special expenses incurred by the employee by reason of the nature of the employee’s employment;

where an employee’s employment is terminated after the accident causing the work injury, the employee’s entitlement under sub‑paragraph (1) also applies when the employee is on hospitalisation leave or medical leave that is granted after such termination;

an employee’s entitlement under sub‑paragraph (1) for light duties applies during any period when the employee is certified by a health professional (while the employee is in the employer’s employment) to be fit only for light duties —

even if the employee’s employment is terminated while the employee is on light duties; but(ii)excluding any period when the employee is absent without leave; and

an employee is not taken to be on hospitalisation leave, medical leave or light duties on —

any day when the employee takes a rest day or paid leave under the Employment Act or the Child Development Co‑Savings Act (Cap. 38A); or

where the employee’s employment has been terminated — the employee’s days off as determined by the Commissioner, having regard to the employee’s normal work pattern before the accident.5.—

Any compensation payable by an employer for the medical treatment received by an employee in relation to the employee’s work injury is the lower of the following amounts:

the cost of medical treatment received by the employee within a period of one year after the date of the accident causing the injury; (b)$45,000 per accident per employee.(2) To avoid doubt, the cost of medical treatment includes, but is not limited to —

the charges in connection with an emergency medical transport for the conveyance of an injured employee to receive medical treatment;

the fees for medical reports required for the purposes of this Act;

the charges for physiotherapy and occupational and speech therapy;

the charges for case management, psychotherapy for the treatment of post‑traumatic stress disorder, functional capacity evaluation and worksite assessment, required for the purposes of rehabilitating and enabling an injured employee to return to work;

the cost of medicines, artificial limbs and surgical appliances; and

the charges and fees for medical examination and consultation related to medical treatment.6.—

Where an employee has been continuously employed by the same employer for more than one whole calendar month immediately before the date of the accident, the employee’s AME is computed according to the formula where —

A is the actual earnings of the employee during the computation period;

the computation period is the period of whole calendar months that the employee was employed immediately preceding the accident (up to a maximum of 12 such months if the employee was employed for more than 12 such months); and

P is the number of whole calendar months in the computation period mentioned in paragraph (b).(2) Where an employee has been employed by the same employer for one whole calendar month or less immediately before the date of the accident, the employee’s AME is computed according to the formula where —

D is the employee’s average earnings per working day;

W is the average number of working days of the employee in a week, including any day on which the employee is required to work but the employer has no work for the employee; and

working day includes any day when the employee —

actually worked;

was absent from work with pay granted by the employer; or

was absent from work without prior leave from the employer, reasonable excuse or informing or attempting to inform the employer of the excuse for such absence.(3) The Commissioner may disregard any calendar month or adjust the amount of the earnings of the employee in any period if the Commissioner is of the view that the earnings for that calendar month or period (as the case may be) do not accurately reflect the employee’s AME. (4) A period of employment is taken to be continuous despite the employee’s absence from work as mentioned in sub‑paragraph (2)(c)(ii) or (iii).(5) Where the employer knows that the employee is employed under any contract of service by one or more other employers at the time of the accident, the employee’s actual earnings include the employee’s actual earnings from those other employers during the computation period.(6) Where reliable evidence of the actual earnings of the employee during the computation period does not exist or cannot be adduced without undue delay or expense, the Commissioner may compute the employee’s earnings at the date of the accident having regard to any of the following:

evidence of the earnings of employees employed on similar work in the same locality at or about the date of the accident;

a multiple (determined by the Commissioner) of the employee’s basic rate of pay (within the meaning given by section 2(1) of the Employment Act) at or about the date of the accident.
