Worker's Compensation Board

The Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB) is a government agency that provides financial support and medical benefits to workers who are injured or become ill because of their job. It helps ensure workers receive necessary treatment and income replacement during recovery, without the need to sue their employer. Employers pay premiums to fund these benefits, creating a shared responsibility for workplace safety. The WCB also promotes injury prevention and helps facilitate safe return-to-work programs. Overall, it acts as a safety net, balancing the interests of workers and employers while fostering a safer work environment.
