The WCB partners with employers in building safe and healthy workplaces, and supporting the recovery of workers if a work-related injury occurs.
As an employer, you have important roles to perform in the workers compensation system:
- Employers are required to create and maintain a safe workplace and partner with their workers and the WCB to prevent work-related injuries or illnesses from happening.
- If a work-related 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.
