Work Injury Compensation Act: what is it?

The Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA) provides a streamlined and efficient way for employees in Singapore to claim compensation for work-related injuries or diseases. Instead of the costly and lengthy process of a civil lawsuit, WICA offers a faster, low-cost alternative. Under this act, employees can make a claim without the need for a lawyer, ensuring a more accessible path to compensation for any work-related incident or illness.

More about WICA

It is crucial for employees to understand their rights under the WICA to ensure they receive the proper support and compensation in the event of a work-related injury or illness. Awareness of WICA empowers workers to know what to do immediately after an incident, what benefits they are eligible for, and the correct procedures for filing a claim.

ArcLab’s platform provides an ideal solution for this by transforming complex and lengthy WICA information into accessible, bite-sized learning modules that can be delivered directly to an employee’s mobile device. This ensures that the information is not only seen but also understood, effectively educating the entire workforce on their rights.

Fraudulent claims: the importance of integrity

While WICA provides a vital safety net for employees, it is critical that workers are aware of the severe consequences of making fraudulent claims or providing false information. A fraudulent claim is an abuse of the system and a serious offence that can result in significant penalties.

The integrity of the WICA system depends on honest and accurate reporting. By educating employees on these risks, organisations can safeguard the system for those with genuine claims and foster a workplace culture built on trust and honesty.

A WICA training record that doesn't depend on Singpass

A worker shouldn't need to log in anywhere to have a record that they were trained on their WICA rights. ArcLab keeps that record against their own link, whether they're Singaporean or on a work pass.
