First, you should inform the company immediately. When a worker is permanently incapacitated, it means that he or she is unable to work at all. The employer has to make sure that the employee has been given an appropriate leave and can take leave according to their own plans and desires.

Second, you should file a claim for permanent total incapacity with the relevant authorities at the local level. The employer must also file for compensation for damages if any. The government will decide whether or not to compensate for damages and what amount of compensation they will pay out from their own budget.

Third, the company must offer medical insurance coverage for its employees who are permanently incapacitated so that they can cover any medical expenses that may arise due to their disability (such as hospitalization). In addition, if there are any other expenses incurred by the employee due to his or her disability (such as travel costs), then it must be covered by the company itself (if such expenses do not exceed some amount and if all safety rules and precautions were taken, if as a result of injury at work).

If a worker is permanently total incapacitated, he should be allowed to resign. If he does not resign, the employer may ask for his resignation. If the employer does not ask for his resignation, the worker may claim that he has resigned. If the employer accepts this claim, the worker may sue for wrongful dismissal.

If a worker is temporarily total incapacitated, an employer may require him to continue working while he recovers from his illness or injury. The employer cannot refuse to pay wages during this period without just cause. If a worker refuses to work without just cause, the employer can deduct wages due under sick leave and holidays.

Employers are required to provide their workers with a safe and healthy workplace. This is true even if they have a good reason not to do so. The law requires employers to make sure that their employees aren’t exposed to hazardous conditions at work, or suffer injuries as a result of them.

If your employer fails to meet these requirements, you may be able to file a claim against them in court. You can also file an administrative claim with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) if your employer refuses to comply with OSHA standards.
