Worker Resource Centre

Welcome to the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board’s (WCB’s) Worker Resource Centre, devoted to you, the workers!

As a worker, you may have questions about what to do if you’re injured at work, what benefits you may qualify for, what the WCB claim process looks like, what to do in your recovery and return to work, or the worker appeal process.

The Worker Resource Centre includes links to give you the tools you need to better navigate the WCB system. Learn about the online services available with a WCB online account and how they can help you with the claims process. Get started today and create a WCB online account.

We recognize that each person’s injury/illness and recovery are unique. A team effort involving you, your care providers and us will be used to ensure you get health care and other services to help with your return to health and work. Many employers have also implemented disability management programs to help with the recovery process.

Please note: Conversations with the WCB are summarized and recorded in your file.
