Workers’ compensation protects both employers and workers from the results of workplace injuries. Employers are protected against lawsuits and injured workers receive benefits.

Under The Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013 (the Act), all employers operating in industries covered under Saskatchewan’s legislation, who hire workers on a regular, casual or contractual basis, must register and create an account with us. Exempted industries and occupations are listed in Section 3 of the Act (Farming & Ranching) and in the Miscellaneous Regulations (all other excluded industries).

Do you have to register with us?

You must register if your firm:

• Works in an industry that is defined as mandatory under the Act, and
• Employs and pays workers on a regular, casual or contract basis.
• Has a director that reports employment income on a Canada Revenue Agency T4 income tax slip.

If you come from another province or country to work in Saskatchewan, have no place of business in Saskatchewan and do not employ Saskatchewan resident workers, you should apply for an account if:

• You will come into Saskatchewan 3 or more times per year, or
• You will come into Saskatchewan for 5 or more days in a row.

Important information regarding your Online Services account:

• A working email address is required to complete registration. This email address will be your user id.
• WCB may use your email address to communicate directly with you regarding matters related to employer services, or the WCB may use outside communications agents for this purpose, but the WCB will not release your email address for any other purpose to third parties without your written permission.
