The Option of Private Worker Coverage

Employers universally support the objective of safeguarding workers and their families through comprehensive workplace insurance. However, limitations in coverage and service levels provided by Alberta's Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) have led to dissatisfaction among both employers and employees. 

In Alberta, many employers are legally mandated to provide WCB coverage to ensure that workers injured on the job receive medical benefits, partial wage replacement, and, in cases of fatality, survivor benefits. While WCB insurance has assisted numerous workers and families during challenging times, it is not without its shortcomings.
