Learn what fraudulent activity is, examples and tips for employers, workers, and care providers, and how to report suspected fraud to the WCB.
Fraudulent activity undermines the integrity and accountability of any organization. In the workers' compensation system, maintaining fairness requires trust among employers, workers, health-care providers, suppliers, vendors and WCB staff.

The workers’ compensation system is funded by premiums paid by Saskatchewan employers. Fraud and abuse can lead to increased premium rates, reduced worker benefits and compromised treatment quality.
