Statutory Accident Insurance

The Surinamese Accident Safety Ordinance 1947, or the SOR, is an insurance policy that is required by law. The employer is required to insure their employees against the financial consequences of accidents that happen to them in connection with their employment. Accidents on the way from home to work, and vice versa, are also included in employment related accidents.

Under the SOR, an employee is eligible for medical treatment, payment of salary in the event of temporary occupational disability, an invalidity benefit in the event of permanent disability, and transport costs related to the accident.
