Who is insured under the Act
The workers' compensation system ensures that all workers in the province are protected from economic hardships caused by work-related injuries or diseases.All of your paid workers are insured under your account, including:
- Labour contractors not registered with WorkSafeBC
- Shareholders and officers who work for your company
- Your children, if they work for you and are paid by your firm
When a worker is injured on the job, wage loss costs are covered by WorkSafeBC. Injured workers are typically entitled to 90 percent of their average net earnings at the time of their injury, up to the annual maximum. In addition, any rehabilitation and retraining costs needed to return a worker to work are paid by WorkSafeBC.
