Employer information

Workers compensation insurance protects you and your employees in the event of a workplace injury or illness. It covers wages while your worker recovers, pays for healthcare benefits and protects you from lawsuits. Employer premiums fund this system.

Most employers in Manitoba are required to register with the WCB. The Workers Compensation Act automatically covers all workers in Manitoba, unless specifically excluded by regulation. Employers are responsible for paying premiums based on their workers’ earnings and reporting workplace injuries and illness to the WCB.

If you are unsure whether your employees are excluded from workers compensation coverage, contact the WCB. Employers who are not required to register can purchase optional coverage.
