INJURY INSURANCE OF THE EMPLOYER IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC

Summary/Abstract: The injury insurance system was created with effectivness from January 1st, 2004 as relatively indenpendent subsystem and integrated into scope of legal social security relationship by labour law responsibility of employer for the injury accident and occupational disease enshrined in Labour Code (this regulation did not avoid also partial duplication of legislation). Thus chosen conception of injury insurance system subsystem within the social security system shows some essential differences against insurance systems (especially in the form of undirect connection of insurance relationships and benefit relationships and in the sign of additional injury insurance). Finally some elements of insurance relationships of injury insurance are not from year 2004 executed (classification of employers to dangerous classes; surcharge on insurance and insurance discount) and some fulfillment benefits, identified as injury benefits, do not fulfill requirements of protective function social security sufficiently and they are not provided for the purpose of working revitalizations (rehabilitation). We identify also more problems linked with medical assessment activity and payment of some injury benefits in this article.
