Trucking companies in Manitoba must provide WCB coverage for their workers. Trucking companies frequently operate across more than one province and on a contract basis, which means you must answer two important questions related to your status with the WCB of Manitoba:
Workers compensation coverage is available for everyone associated with a video production company. Production companies are required to purchase WCB coverage for all of their workers. You may also purchase coverage for entertainers (anyone who works in front of the camera) and independent contractors.
WCB coverage provides benefits for people who are hurt at work and protects you from lawsuits in the event of an injury.
If your business employs contract labour, you are responsible to make sure your contractors have workers compensation coverage, if needed.
Your contractors may have their own WCB coverage. If so, you must make sure they are in good standing with the WCB. Our online Clearances system allows you to look up contractors and request official confirmation of their WCB status.
You are required to provide workers compensation for farm and agricultural workers. Farm owners and their family members are not required to have WCB insurance; however, you can purchase optional coverage for yourself or family members who work on the farm.
The WCB provides coverage for many kinds of farms and agriculture businesses, including:
If your business is in a mandatory industry and you have an apprenticeship agreement, your apprentices are included in your workers compensation coverage.
Apprentices are included in your coverage whether they are participating in on-the-job training or in-school technical training. In either case, you are considered the employer of record and all costs associated with a claim are applied to your firm’s experience.
Return to Work is a group effort between employers, workers and the WCB, and every good Return to Work Plan is based on productive and positive relationships.
Your rate is based on a number a factors that affect your business with the WCB. These factors include:
The workers compensation system is a group effort. Workers’ rights are employers’ responsibilities and employers’ rights are workers’ responsibilities.
If you employ workers in Manitoba, it’s important to know that you have rights and responsibilities both with the WCB and your employees.
