Whether mental diseases are compensable is an important issue in the workers’ compensation system in Taiwan. According to the Labor Insurance Act, work-related mental diseases shall be considered as oc-cupational diseases. However, coverage for mental diseases is usually denied; therefore, the validity of the standard, the guideline of identify-ing work-related stress-induced mental diseases, is doubted. Besides, whether employers should pay compensation according to the Labor Standards Law, whether employees have the right to recover damages according to Civil Law, and the relationships among the Labor Insur-ance Act, the Labor Standards Law and Civil Law are also controversial issues. |
