employment injury

Richard Morris also supervised the employment injury benefits covering over 100,000 employees.

This social insurance contribution comes on top of other similar contributions in Bahrain, for pensions and employment injury.

Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964 is an International Labour Organization Convention.

The principles contained in the convention were subsequently revised and included in ILO Convention C121, Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964.

The right to social security is recognized as a human right and establishes the right to social security assistance for those unable to work due to sickness, disability, maternity, employment injury, unemployment or old age.

Social security is understood to encompass the following nine branches: adequate health service, disability benefits, old age benefits, unemployment benefits, employment injury insurance, family and child support, maternity benefits, disability protections, and provisions for survivors and orphans.

It requires parties to provide some form of social insurance scheme to protect people against the risks of sickness, disability, maternity, employment injury, unemployment or old age; to provide for survivors, orphans, and those who cannot afford health care; and to ensure that families are adequately supported.

(1) for old-age, disability and survivor protection: for Bahraini employees, employers pay 10% of salary plus constant allowances, workers pay 5% plus constant allowances; for non-Bahraini employees, employers pay 3% of salary plus constant allowances (then being entitled only to employment injury benefits).
