Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Guernsey

Article 1(2) of the Convention. Payment of benefits abroad. The Committee notes that the Government’s report, received in September 2011, refers to a number of bilateral social security agreements. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report the arrangements governing the payment of accident compensation benefits in the event of residence abroad with regard to nationals of countries which have ratified Convention No. 19 but have not concluded a bilateral social security agreement with Guernsey. Please also provide, as required by Part V of the report form, information, including statistics, on the manner in which effect is given to the Convention in practice, specifying, for instance, the number, nationality and occupational distribution of foreign workers employed in Guernsey, the number and nature of accidents involving foreign workers, and the amount of accident compensation benefits paid to persons residing abroad, indicating the country of destination.
