In case a worker has sustained an industrial injury or an occupational disease, shall the employer be committed to pay the expenses of his medical treatment?

Yes, the employer shall be committed to do so and even to pay all the expenses required by the medical treatment and all the costs needed for the subsequent rehabilitation of the worker. If injury has prevented a worker from performing his duties, the employer shall continue to pay the worker’s full pay throughout the period of medical treatment, provided that the worker shall not be paid more than half pay for the subsequent six months or until the worker recovers, is proved to be disabled or dies, whichever is shorter.
