DO YOU HIRE CONTRACTORS FOR ONSITE SERVICES?

If your business engages contractors for onsite services—such as snow removal, building maintenance, or repairs - it is essential to understand your obligations with the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). Did you know you are required to report all contractors you hire? Failing to do so could mean your business ends up covering WCB costs for them.



To support you in this process, the MSA has created a helpful webinar on Hiring Contractors:

The WCB also offers free resources to simplify contractor reporting and management:

Consider using WCB’s free Automatic Contractor Verification (ACV) program, which makes it easy to manage contractors online. For more information, email: employerservices@wcbsask.com
