Throughout the pandemic and beyond, WorkSafeBC remains committed to supporting your insurance needs. Here is some information on what you need to know about WorkSafeBC insurance services that may be affected by COVID-19.

Premiums waived for furloughed workers

To support employers impacted by COVID-19, we are waiving premiums for employers who are approved to receive the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) for furloughed workers (employees on leave with full or partial pay). Learn more.

Coverage for workers in another province due to COVID-19

If you have workers who previously worked in B.C. but now work and reside in another province due to the pandemic, they are not covered by WorkSafeBC coverage. Learn more.
