Workers' Compensation Board

The Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) is a government agency that oversees a program designed to protect workers who are injured on the job. It provides financial support for medical expenses and lost wages due to work-related injuries or illnesses. The WCB also helps employers by offering guidelines for safety and injury prevention. In exchange for this support, employees generally give up the right to sue their employer for workplace injuries. Each province or state may have its own WCB with specific regulations and benefits tailored to its workforce.
