Who Is Covered By The Sickness Benefit Fund?
Only members who are absent for more than two weeks because of accidents sustained at work qualify for benefit. You must have been a member for six months or more. There is no restriction to the type of injuries covered, so long as they result in absence from work and are sustained in the course of the member’s normal job.
