Article 14 of the "Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance" An employee shall be deemed to have suffered a work-related injury under any of the following circumstances: (1) Injured in an accident during working hours and in the workplace due to work-related reasons; (2) Being injured in an accident while engaging in work-related preparatory or finishing work in the workplace before or after working hours; (3) Suffering violence or other accidental injuries during working hours and in the workplace as a result of performing work duties; (4) Suffering from an occupational disease; (5) During the period when they are away for work, they are injured due to work reasons or their whereabouts are unknown in an accident; (6) Being injured in a traffic accident or an urban rail transit, passenger ferry, or train accident for which they are not primarily responsible while commuting to or from work; (7) Other circumstances that laws and administrative regulations provide shall be recognized as work-related injuries.

In terms of the reasonable interpretation of "on the way" to and from work, it should generally refer to the process of the employee going back and forth between the employer and the home at a reasonable time and route. In trial practice, the most controversial issue is whether the motor vehicle injury caused by the employee on the way to and from work can be recognized as a work-related injury. According to the prevailing belief in the community, a reasonable route to and from work is not a mandatory or exclusive route, but should be determined on a case-by-case basis.

In principle, the route between the employee's place of residence and the workplace is not limited to the shortest route, nor should the employer specify the route. If the illness occurs during working hours, at the workplace, or due to work-related reasons, it is generally considered a work-related injury. After that, it can be treated as a work-related accident, and the employee and his or her immediate family can receive the corresponding work-related injury compensation.
