seguro de acidentes de trabalho (workplace accident insurance)
Compulsory insurance that the employer takes out for every worker (Law 98/2009, article 79). It covers treatment after an injury at work and pays for the days off work. Self-employed people take it out for themselves.
Where you come across it. Employment contracts, recibos verdes, injuries at work.
If the policy states a lower salary than the real one, the insurer pays on the stated amount and the employer owes the difference.
