Damaged watches, broken mobile phones, or destroyed clothing can impose an additional financial burden in what is already a complex situation. As an employee, you have the right to compensation for damage to your personal belongings in connection with a workplace injury—and in this article, we will explain how to effectively assert this right.

Workplace accidents present not only a health risk but also a financial burden for employees. In cases of long-term sickness, employees often rely on sickness benefits, which, however, do not cover the full salary they were receiving from their employer before the workplace accident.

Part of the work performance is the arrangement of a regular workplace. This refers to the determination of the location where the employee is to perform work for the employer according to the contract. However, situations may arise in the work process where the employer needs the employee to perform a certain task outside of the agreed workplace. This may involve the need to secure a work task, negotiate a contract, or otherwise represent the employer in a location different from the usual workplace. A deployment outside the regular workplace is referred to as a business trip. In this context, the employee has several statutory entitlements that help cover expenses and compensate for the time spent away from the usual workplace.
