and send in the necessary forms.
Step 2: Get forms from
the doctor
Workers

to the doctor when they go for a visit. After the doctor has filled
in the form, workers must take it back to their employer.Workers

Step 3: Keep in touch
with the employer

touch with them. Workers’ money will be send to their employer’s
