Temporary Status

You have indicated that your workers are not Yukon residents and are working in the Yukon for less than 10 days, this means you are a temporary employer. 

A non-Yukon employer carrying on business in the Yukon on a temporary basis does not have to register with the board and their workers are not covered under the Act. A non-Yukon employer is considered to be carrying on business on a temporary basis if:

(a) the employer is based outside the Yukon;
(b) the workers normally work and reside outside the Yukon; and
(c) the workers are performing work in the Yukon for fewer than 10 days in a calendar year.

A non-Yukon employer has the option to apply to the board for coverage for their temporary workers who are not covered and who are performing work in the Yukon for fewer than 10 days in a calendar year.
