The Saskatchewan Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) is given express authority by The Workers' Compensation Act, 1979
to interpret and implement the intentions of the legislature within the context of the Act.
- Corporate policies authorized by WCB represent the primary operating authority under the Act and provide
guidelines for WCB staff. Thus, staff are specifically directed to use policy where applicable, rather than re-interpret the legislation.
- Procedures are authorized by the Chief Executive Officer and are referenced within a policy document. Procedures specify how a given
policy will be implemented and are accessible to external stakeholders on this website.
