Coverage for Directors
Effective Dates
December 31, 2014 - June 30, 2022
Policy Code
EA-06
General Information
A director of an incorporated company is considered a worker under the Workers’ Compensation Act (the Act). Employers must pay assessments for directors, and those directors are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if they sustain a work-related injury.
However, not all directors perform active work and not all directors’ income is considered "earnings" under the Act. YWCHSB can deem some directortors not to be workers.
Purpose
This policy provides direction on:
- determining when a director is working and non-working;
- assessing employers who have directors; and
- verifying directors’ earnings if they have work-related injuries and submit claims for compensation.
