Workers' compensation refers to the system of benefits provided to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses while on the job. However, there are several different terms used to describe this type of benefit. One common synonym for workers' compensation is "workman's comp," which is a term generally used to describe benefits provided to male employees. "Industrial insurance" is another term often used to describe the same benefits as workers' compensation. Additionally, "employee compensation" or "worker's injury compensation" are terms sometimes used interchangeably with workers' compensation. Ultimately, regardless of the term used, these benefits are intended to provide employees with financial support when they are unable to work due to a job-related injury or illness.
