This is an update on the previous post "Medical Benefits: Who bears the burden?" The Senior Vice-President of Toast Box replied to Mr Lim and assured that the company will compensate his son for the 'work-related injury' ("Part-timers entitled to medical benefits", 04/06/09, Pg. A27). I do applaud Toast Box's responsible reply by offering to "compensate part-time employees if they suffer personal injury from an accident that arises out of, and in the course of, their work", and hope that this will set the standard for equitable treatment towards all employees.
However, that being said, one must be aware of the countless incidents that went unreported and therefore ignored. Thus it is important for people - especially the contract workers - to know what are their basic benefits as well as the appropriate alternatives to seek reasonable redress. Please do not go overboard, lest one gets naught ("Injured worker fails in bid for higher payout", 04/06/09, Pg. B5).
