What is compensable?

Compensable refers to something that can be compensated for, usually in terms of financial compensation or reimbursement. This term is commonly used in the context of workers' compensation, where injuries or illnesses sustained on the job may be deemed compensable, meaning they are eligible for benefits or financial compensation. In general, any expense or loss that can be attributed to a specific cause or event and is deemed reasonable and necessary can be considered compensable. Examples of compensable expenses in the workplace may include medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs related to an employee's injury or illness.
