compensation

Workers' compensation or workers' comp is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue his or her employer for the tort of negligence. The trade-off between assured, limited coverage and lack of recourse outside the worker compensation system is known as "the compensation bargain". One of the problems that the compensation bargain solved is the problem of employers becoming insolvent as a result of high damage awards. The system of collective liability was created to prevent that, and thus to ensure security of compensation to the workers.
While plans differ among jurisdictions, provision can be made for weekly payments in place of wages (functioning in this case as a form of disability insurance), compensation for economic loss (past and future), reimbursement or payment of medical and like expenses (functioning in this case as a form of health insurance), and benefits payable to the dependents of workers killed during employment.
General damage for pain and suffering, and punitive damages for employer negligence, are generally not available in workers' compensation plans, and negligence is generally not an issue in the case.

    Baxi System Boiler Weather Compensation

    I'm wanting to install weather comp on my Baxi Platinum+ system boiler (GC No: 41-470-95). This is because the house is heated using underfloor heating which is mixing down to 35c but the boiler is set to 70c to heat the unvented cylinder up to 60-65c. The idea is to select a curve more suited...

    Viessmann 100-W Heat Only and Weather Compensation

    We are a few months into our Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 19KW Heat Only boiler and it is working fine. We replaced an old 1999 Baxi. Our house is a 2 bathroom 4 bed detatched, built 1999.

    Atag Boiler with weather compensation

    I had a new Atag 35+ Economiser fitted in May with an outdoor weather sensor and using the Atag Zone controller with it. So far it's been doing what I expect and reducing the flow and return so that the boiler is condensing. Now we're getting colder weather, I can't seem to get the house to be...

    Weather compensation

    A query that comes to mind. What do you do if you’re installing outdoor temperature compensation with a conventional system – heat-only or system boiler with diverter valve and HW cylinder? As the boiler flow temperature is reduced by the outdoor temperature compensation it could be too low to...

    I've picked up a Worcester Fw100 programmer for a new boiler install but it didn't come with a weather compensation sensor, are all sensors equal or will I have to source a Worcester sensor for it to work? If so is there a specific one I need to get? TIA
