Workers' Compensation Coverage for Motion Picture and Television Productions
A February 13, 2012 Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal (“WCAT”) decision has raised significant concerns regarding workers' compensation coverage for individuals participating in the motion picture and television industry.
Employer and worker representatives in the motion picture and television industry have requested that WorkSafeBC ensure that workers’ compensation coverage exists for all individuals engaged to provide services on a motion picture or television production.
The Board of Directors, at their October 11, 2012 meeting, approved the release for consultation of a discussion paper with policy options and implications. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the discussion paper and policy options, and any additional comments that may be relevant to the issue.
