G1107 - Places of worship

Operational Details
Places of worship and religious organizations are primarily involved in conducting religious services, administering the rites of a religious faith or denomination, and performing other functions associated with the practice of religion such as individual and family counseling, conducting religious study groups and other community support services. Places of worship include but are not limited to; church, mosque, synagogue, temple and gurdwara.

Clergy are excluded under Section 3 (c) of The Workers’ Compensation Act Exclusion Regulations and are not covered unless special application is made for coverage. Clergy are those persons who have been ordained for religious service. Others who have definite roles in worship but are not ordained (e.g laypeople) are not considered clergy, even though they may require some sort of official approval to perform their duties and are therefore required to register under the Act.

Religious orders such as the operation of a religious community such as a convent or monastery are also included in this subcode.
