Saskatchewan's Workers’ Compensation Board is an independent body created by provincial legislation, the Workers’ Compensation Act 1979, General Regulations, and Exclusion Regulations to administer a compensation system on behalf of workers and employers. Guided by the Meredith Principles and our vision, mission and values, we are financially independent of government and special-interest groups. We collect assessment premiums from employers and make appropriate payments to injured workers from a common fund. An effective system requires co-operative partnerships among workers, employers, caregivers and WCB administrators. 2, record 6, English, - The%20Workers%27%20Compensation%20Board
