- Abstract
The article discusses the administration of worker's compensation in Canada. The aim of all workers compensation schemes is essentially to compensate workers for injury or disease that they receive in the course of their work. In Canada the legislation governing workers' compensation is established at two levels, namely federal and provincial. The federal government of Canada promulgates laws and regulations that are specific in relation to inter provincial matters of workers' health and safety and provide guidelines for the enactment of provincial legislation. Each of the Canadian jurisdictions has a board which provides coverage for the total workforce excluding certain minimum numbers of employees, federal government workers, and a few other categories. These boards receive, process, and fund injured workers' claims.
