Benefits
Because people are our number-one asset, we support our staff with generous benefits and contributions toward a secure future.
Imagine yourself as part of the WorkSafeBC team. Along with a competitive salary, your total compensation package as a permanent employee includes vacation, optional leave arrangements, health care and dental benefits, and contributions toward your retirement pension.
Vacation and time off
You'll receive a generous vacation entitlement that starts at three weeks annually and grows the longer you're with us. Most employees also have the option of working flex hours, where you work a little longer every day in one quarter of the year in order to earn days off in the next. This works out to an additional 13 days off each year.
Pension
If you're a permanent employee, you'll automatically be enrolled in our defined benefit pension plan, funded with contributions by staff and WorkSafeBC.
Health benefits
You'll have the security of knowing, in the unfortunate event of an illness or emergency, our benefits include cumulative sick leave, long term disability, medical services premiums, extended medical coverage, dental, life insurance, and more. Our sophisticated return-to-work program is coordinated jointly with the Union to ensure timely and appropriate re-integration into the workplace.
Leave arrangements
Our flexible leave arrangements include a self-funded leave program, which allows you to contribute 20% of your salary annually for four years. You can then take the fifth year off and use your accumulated funds.

- Compensation Employees' Credit Union*
- Onsite cafeteria and express coffee bar serving Starbucks coffee*
