Azerbaijan is introducing a new regulation for insurance payments. Instead of disability, compensation will be determined by the degree of loss of professional work capacity.
The proposed amendment to the law "On compulsory insurance against loss of professional work capacity due to industrial accidents and occupational diseases" was discussed at the Labor and Social Policy Committee of the Milli Majlis.
The degree of loss of professional work capacity is expressed as a percentage of the permanent loss of the insured person's ability to work before the insured event. According to the new proposal, lump-sum insurance payments will also be tied to this degree.
Lump-sum payments will be made when the degree of loss of professional work capacity is established without specifying a next examination period. It is noted that loss of professional work capacity also includes the determination of disability.
