WCB responsibilities and services

The WCB is responsible to provide you and your injured workers with the following services:

• Provide registered employers with workplace insurance coverage.
• Assess fair premiums. Learn more about industry classification and premium rate setting.
• Educate employers and workers about injury prevention through WorkSafe Saskatchewan (the partnership between the WCB and the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety) and the WCB’s prevention department.
• Help employers develop and implement safety and prevention programs.
• Determine and provide WCB benefits to injured workers.
• Provide management services to facilitate health care and monitor workers’ recovery and return to work.
• Help employers and workers develop and implement workplace return-to-work programs and individual return-to-work plans to accommodate injured workers, as required by law.
• Support research to prevent and reduce injuries and occupational diseases.

When a workplace injury happens, The Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013 protects both the injured worker and the employer.
