Workers’ Compensation
Board
Under Alberta legislation, employers must register
with the Workers’ Compensation Board.
Workers’ compensation is a disability insurance
system set up under the Alberta Workers’
Compensation Act. It protects both employers and
workers against the impact of work injuries. It
compensates injured workers for lost income, health
care and other costs related to a work related injury.
It protects employers from being sued by workers if
they are injured on the job. This system brings
stability and protection to the workplace by
providing coverage at a cost shared by all employers.
It also protects employers and workers against the
risks and expenses of injury and the uncertainties of
litigation.
