Article 5 the Convention. Benefits in the form of periodical payments paid throughout the contingency. Referring to its observation, the Committee notes that, in accordance with section 9 of the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (as amended in 2009), compensation payable where the death or disablement of an employee has resulted from an injury has to be deposited with the registrar and that any sum so deposited will be paid by way of periodical payments. The Committee requests the Government to indicate how it is ensured that the amount of compensation deposited with the competent authority is sufficient to ensure the payment of compensation throughout the contingency.
