WICA Insurance
WICA stands for the Work Injury Compensation Act, which is a legislative framework in Singapore that mandates employers to provide insurance coverage for work-related injuries or death suffered by their employees.
Under WICA, employers are required to maintain insurance for the following employees:
- all employees involved in manual work; and
- all other non-manual workers earning S$2,600 or less a month.
However, employers are susceptible to legal liability for claims under both WICA and also the Common Law for all employees, even if they are not under the categories mentioned above.
