What do Workers' Compensation Laws provide to employees?

Insurance against job loss
Rights to collect compensation for injuries at work
Protection against unjust dismissal
A guarantee of job security

The correct answer is: Rights to collect compensation for injuries at work

Workers' Compensation Laws are specifically designed to provide financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. These laws ensure that employees have the right to collect compensation for losses due to work-related conditions without having to prove that their employer was at fault. This coverage typically includes medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and a portion of lost wages. The focus of these laws is to create a no-fault system where employees receive support and compensation promptly, which helps them return to work more quickly. This system protects both employees and employers by limiting the liability of the employer and ensuring that workers can obtain necessary support for their recovery without lengthy legal battles. Other options like insurance against job loss, protection against unjust dismissal, or guarantees of job security are not the primary functions of workers' compensation laws and are addressed under different labor laws and legislation. Thus, the emphasis on compensation for workplace injuries is what makes the correct answer accurate in context.
