Bill 83 Transition Policy
Effective Dates
December 31, 1999 - April 25, 2005
Policy Code
GC-02
General Information
In 1999, Bill 83 amended the Workers' Compensation Act (the Act), effective January 1, 2000, and April 1, 2000, depending on the section. As a result of these changes to the Act, a number of wording changes were required to the policies of the Workers' Compensation Health and Safety Board (WCHSB) in order to be consistent with the legislation.
WCHSB policies are continually being up-dated according to priorities set by the Board of Directors. As policies are up-dated, they will be written to reflect the wording of the current legislation.
Purpose
This interim transition policy is intended to ensure that those policies yet to be up-dated use wording that is consistent with the wording of the 1992 Workers' Compensation Act, as amended in 1999.
