Policy section content
Section detail
- The respective Saskatchewan municipality is designated as the “Employer” and will be responsible for maintaining records of volunteer firefighters eligible for coverage under this policy, and for reporting all injuries to the Workers’ Compensation Board.
- Coverage shall be in effect from the time of notification of a fire and includes travel from the individual’s residence or location to the site of the fire and return provided there are no deviations for personal reasons. Coverage is also in effect while attending volunteer firefighter training.
- In the event of a claim, Employer Services will verify with the respective Saskatchewan municipality that the claimant is registered as a volunteer firefighter. The cost of the claim will be applied directly to the cost experience of the municipality in which the volunteer firefighter is registered and the appropriate municipality rate code will be used for cost identification purposes.
- Cost statements will be issued to the respective Saskatchewan municipality and the cost of extending coverage to volunteer firefighters will be reflected in future premiums charged to the Saskatchewan cities, towns, villages and rural municipalities rate code.
