Worker’s compensation is a benefit designed to provide workers with medical treatment needed to recover from work-related injury or illness, partially replace wages lost while the worker recovers, and help to return to work. Worker’s compensation benefits do not include damages for pain and suffering or punitive damages.

All California employers, public or private, are required by law to secure worker’s compensation insurance. Worker’s compensation is an "exclusive remedy" in California.

The PCC Worker’s Compensation Program aims to assist in the worker’s quick recovery and return to work.
