Résumé Omnilex

The case concerns whether PCMM payments, granted in lieu of unemployment-insurance benefits, extend coverage under accident insurance. The answer is negative because those payments do not replace salary. As a result, accident-insurance coverage is not prolonged by such benefits.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 7 al. 1 let. b OLAA; accident-insurance coverage is extended only where the relevant payment replaces salary. Benefits paid in lieu of unemployment-insurance indemnities do not constitute wage replacement and therefore do not prolong accident-insurance coverage.

Résumé

Les PCMM ne sont pas versées en lieu et place du salaire mais en lieu et place des indemnités de l'assurance-chômage. Leur versement ne prolonge donc pas la couverture de l'assurance-accident.

Question juridique clé

Whether PCMM payments extend accident-insurance coverage under Art. 7 al. 1 let. b OLAA

Solution extraite

No. PCMM are paid in place of unemployment-insurance benefits, not in place of salary, so they do not prolong accident-insurance coverage.

Motifs extraits

The decisive criterion is whether the payment replaces salary. A benefit replacing unemployment compensation does not satisfy that condition and therefore cannot extend accident coverage.
