Authors : Sunghyun Mun and Young-Chan Lee

Abstract: There has not been much concern on accident compensation policy for public officials among policy-makers due to low cases of disasters and insurance benefit on an annual basis. This study is intended to compare and analyze occupational health and safety insurance targeting on regular laborers with accident compensation policy for public officials and suggest issues and plans for improvement. In addition, this study aims to compare the degree of accident compensation provided to public officials and accident compensation offered to regular laborers seeking for plans to establish efficient accident compensation system. For this, first of all, it is required to improve differentiated payment for survivor’s benefit on duty during the period of service. Since compensation on disasters on duty is in the form of damage compensating payment, it is desirable to provide identical benefit as the damage is not different from the period of service. Secondly, there is a need to improve the guarantee of disability pension benefit with the one in the occupational health and safety insurance. Third, it is required to adopt disease compensating pension, funeral service expenses and nursing benefits and other benefits from the occupational health and safety insurance in the accident compensation policies for public officials to acquire fairness with the one for regular laborers. There is a need to acquire fairness between public officials and regular laborers by equalizing the compensation system in the identical level with accident compensation level with regular laborers.
