Workers compensation is a type of insurance that certain businesses are required to carry to cover their employees in the event of a work-related injury or death. FMLA is a law that stipulates certain eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to attend to certain qualified health and family emergencies.

What is the difference between Family Medical Leave Act and Workmans Comp?

Workers Comp covers your work-related injuries and illnesses.

There are many more differences, but seeing how they start out to be two very different things should help.

Massachusetts Answer #2 You better check with workman's comp. I know of a case where a fellow employee fell in the bathroom at work and was denied payments because it was not considered "work related". In this particular case, the company turned it in as workman's comp but it was refused.
