What may be granted if an employee suffers loss of health or life on duty?

Under the PERA Force Laws, the Authority acknowledges the risks faced by its employees during official duty, especially those engaged in enforcement and field operations. To safeguard the well-being of its workforce, the law provides that compensation may be granted if an employee suffers loss of health or life while performing official duties. This legal safeguard serves as both a moral and financial assurance for employees and their families.

This compensation clause reflects the Act’s commitment to fairness, duty of care, and institutional responsibility. When an employee sustains injury, permanent disability, or loss of life in the line of duty, the Authority is empowered to provide appropriate financial support as prescribed by the relevant rules. The purpose is to recognize the employee’s sacrifice and to ensure that neither the individual nor their dependents face undue hardship as a result of service-related risks.

Such provisions are critical in promoting courage, loyalty, and commitment among enforcement staff. The compensation under PERA Force Laws also aligns with broader public sector service norms that protect employees against occupational hazards. It reinforces the message that the Authority values the safety and welfare of its personnel just as much as operational efficiency. This recognition helps maintain morale and trust within the organization, encouraging employees to perform their duties with dedication and confidence, even under challenging circumstances.
