According to a proclamation published Friday by the CLA, employees who develop schizophrenia, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder are eligible to apply for compensation under the new regulation.

However, such workers are required to provide medical proof that the conditions have been caused by work-related stress, the CLA stated.

The assessments must be carried out by three physicians, including a psychiatrist and an occupational health physician, the CLA said.
