Section 6(1)(b)(ii) of the SRCA says that an injury occurring during an employee's travel 'between his or her place of residence and place of work, other than during an ordinary recess in that employment' is compensable.
This circumstance is the most frequent source of travel claims for RCG.
Although travel during an 'ordinary recess' is apparently excluded by S6(1)(b)(ii), that provision contradicts the accepted interpretation of S6(1)(b)(i).
It is RCG policy to follow the requirements of S6(1)(b)(i) in preference to (b)(ii) in cases where they conflict, i.e. where a member is injured on the journey home for lunch.
