Number of claims for Short-Term Incapacity Allowance due to work-related injuries or ill-health per 1,000 full-time equivalent employees
Current Value
23.5
Definition
This indicator counts the number of Short-Term Incapacity benefit claims received by the Social Security Department for work-related injuries or ill-health each year.
Dividing the total number of claims by full-time equivalent (FTE) employees takes into account the impact of changing workforce size. The FTE figure is a weighted average for the calendar year and comes from Labour Market Reports produced by the States Statistics Unit. It takes into account both full-time and part-time employees.
The indicator does not provide a full picture of all work-related accidents and ill health - not all incidents result in benefit claims, for example - but it does provide an independent, reliable insight into keytrends.
