ACC guarantees workplace cover for Mainzeal workers

ACC is taking over responsibility for existing and future Mainzeal workplace injury claims after terminating its accredited employer contract with Mainzeal following the appointment of receivers.

This will be reassuring news for injured workers who until yesterday were still the responsibility of their employer.

As an accredited employer, Mainzeal was a self insurer, which meant it was responsible for providing support for workers injured on the job, including weekly compensation where required.

Any Mainzeal employees with questions or concerns about an at work injury claim can contact ACC directly on 0800 101 996.
