What other statutory benefits are there in Germany?

In Germany, statutory benefits include the following:

• Occupational Accident Insurance: Employers are required to provide this insurance, which offers protection and assistance in the event of workplace accidents or job-related illnesses. Coverage includes payment for medical treatment (including rehabilitation), benefits and services to aid the employee’s reintegration into the workforce (e.g., training), and compensation for the employee and their dependents. Contributions for statutory accident insurance are funded entirely by the employer, ensuring no extra cost to the employee.

• Child Benefits: To support parents with the costs of raising children, the government provides various child benefits and allowances to almost all parents in Germany.
