Recent amendments to the Workers' Compensation Act
Alert message
Amendments to The Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013 came into effect on Aug. 1, 2025.
These amendments make Saskatchewan a leader in ensuring wildland firefighters have access to presumptive cancer coverage, expanding coverage in some cases for out-of-province workers and assuring that licensed health-care providers practicing outside Saskatchewan are recognized to provide service to workers.
If a worker spends time in two or more provinces and their total gross wages are in excess of the WCB's maximum assessable earnings, an employer is entitled to prorate these excess wages.
