Employers
The WCB's mission is to promote safe workplaces and protect employers and injured workers through a sustainable accident insurance program.
As an employer, you have many important roles in the workers compensation system.
- Employers are responsible to maintain a safe workplace and to work in partnership with your workers and the WCB to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses from happening.
- If a workplace injury occurs, you must understand what is required of you during the claim process and assist your worker to return to work safely.
- Employers pay premiums which are used to pay benefits to workers who are injured or become ill in the workplace. It is important that you maintain your registration and coverage.
