All express delivery employees in Shandong are included in the coverage of work-related injury policies

In order to solve the problem of such group work-related injury insurance system and full coverage of personnel, the Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, in conjunction with the postal management department, has innovated the system supply to allow employees at grassroots express delivery outlets to have priority when the labor relationship is unclear. Separately participate in work-related injury insurance. Grassroots express delivery outlets are given priority to participate in the work-related injury insurance rate, which is based on the postal industry benchmark rate of 0.4. The payment base is fixed at the average monthly salary of employees in all urban units in the province in the previous year. Because the average wage for last year has not yet been announced, it is temporarily calculated based on the previous year's 6,242 yuan. In this way, the outlet needs to pay 24.96 yuan per employee per month

What kind of benefits can be guaranteed if a work-related injury unfortunately occurs? Sun Yuping, director of the Work-related Injury Insurance Service Department of the Provincial Social Security Center, said that after employees are recognized as having work-related injuries, they can enjoy work-related injury medical expenses, rehabilitation fees, hospitalization food subsidies and other benefits from the work-related injury insurance fund. After an employee becomes disabled due to work and is assessed as having a disability level, he or she can enjoy a one-time disability subsidy. "If a work-related death occurs unfortunately, close relatives can receive funeral subsidies and one-time work-related death benefits. For example, after an employee is recognized as a work-related death in 2022, the one-time work-related death benefit will be 948,240 yuan. If there are dependent relatives, they can also receive a one-time work-related death benefit. These guarantees of monthly dependent family pensions will greatly reduce the burden on individuals and businesses," Sun Yuping said.

As of June 17, 244 express delivery companies in Shandong have applied for priority participation in work-related injury insurance for 6,524 couriers. In the next step, the human resources and social security department will continue to innovate service concepts, unblock service channels, optimize service methods, and strive to achieve full coverage as soon as possible.
