If a worker suffers a long-term injury, what percentage of their base pay does Workman's Compensation cover?

Workman's Compensation typically provides financial assistance to workers who are injured on the job, enabling them to recover from their injuries without the added stress of lost income. In many jurisdictions, including under standards generally accepted in various regions, the compensation often covers approximately 66 2/3% of an employee's base pay for long-term injuries.

This percentage reflects a balance between providing sufficient support for the injured worker while also mitigating the financial burden on employers. By covering about two-thirds of the worker's pay, the system aims to provide adequate assistance during recovery without fully compensating lost income, which helps maintain a collaborative relationship between employees and employers.

The remaining answer choices do not reflect the common structure of Workman's Compensation benefits, as they are either too low or too high. For example, a benefit rate of 50% would not sufficiently support a worker during their recovery, while 75% and 100% would significantly increase the financial obligation on employers and could disrupt workplace economics.
