Revised Workers Compensation Act takes effect April 6
Published on: March 09, 2020
The provincial government’s revisions to the Workers Compensation Act will take effect in one month, on April 6, 2020. The changes are intended to make laws easier to find and modernize the language so it’s easier to read and understand.
The revisions do not change B.C.’s laws concerning workers’ compensation, occupational health and safety, or employers’ assessment premiums.
WorkSafeBC’s key materials will reflect the revised Act when it comes into force. For more detailed information and resources, please see the “Workers Compensation Act, R.S.B.C. 2019, c.1” tab on Amendments and revisions to the Act.
