Register for Worker’s Compensation Board
All employers operating in industries covered under Saskatchewan's legislation, who employ workers on a regular, casual or contractual basis, must register and establish an account with the WCB.
The WCB provides financial protection, medical treatment and rehabilitation services to workers and their dependents in cases of injury or death arising out of, and in the course of, employment. These services are funded by premiums collected from employers by the WCB.
Generally, you must register with the WCB if your firm:
- Works in an industry that is defined as mandatory by the Workers Compensation Act of Saskatchewan.
- Is incorporated and the directors are paid a regular, predetermined salary; or
- Comes from another province or country and meets the requirements under Saskatchewan legislation.
Exempted industries and occupations are listed in the Exclusion Regulations – Workers Compensation Act of Saskatchewan.
