<h1>Employers liability for compensation clarifies compensable workplace injuries, exclusions, commuting nexus and bar on civil suits</h1> Employer liability for compensation attaches where personal injury or listed occupational disease arises out of and in the course of employment; employer must pay compensation subject to exclusions for minor injuries and specified employee misconduct, with intoxication, wilful disobedience, or deliberate removal of safety devices defeating liability for non-fatal/non-permanent injuries. Occupational diseases peculiar to specified employments and disease contracted after six months' continuous service are deemed workplace injuries and presumed to arise out of employment unless disproved, and commuting accidents are compensable where a nexus with employment is established. Modification of schedules by notification is permitted, compensation is otherwise payable only for injury directly attributable to employment, and pursuing compensation before a competent authority or an agreed compensation scheme bars civil suits for damages.
