The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained whether the amount of payment due to an accident at work can be reduced if, as a result of the investigation, it is found that the employee violated safety rules.

They noted that the violation by the insured person of the rules of labor protection, which caused an accident or occupational disease, does not relieve the insurer from fulfilling obligations to the victim.



However, if during the investigation of an accident it is established that the damage to health occurred not only through the fault of the employer, but also as a result of the violation by the injured of normative acts on labor protection, the size of the lump-sum insurance payment may be reduced, but not more than by 50 percent (Art.. 36 of the Law of Ukraine "

The percentage of reduction in the insurance payment is determined on the basis of the conclusion of the commission for the investigation of the accident.

Recalculation of insurance payments took place in March. In 2023, the increase in monthly insurance payments is 1.197 (within the maximum amount).
