Workmen's Compensation Act 1906
- Workmen's Compensation Act 1906
Workmen's Compensation Act 1906 was a United Kingdom Act of Parliament which dealt with the right of working people for compensation for personal injury.
A 'workman' was defined as,
"any person who enters into or works under a contract of service or apprenticeship with an employer, whether by way of manual labour, clerical work or otherwise, and whether the contract is expressed or implied, is oral or in writing."
Exceptions were made, including non-manual workers employed on annual pay over £250, casual workers employed "otherwise than for the purposes of their employer's trade or business", outworkers and family workers. Hence specific exclusions were made at both the top and bottom end of the labour market.
