Account Information

Approximately 5000 Island employers are protected by the worker's compensation system.

The system is funded entirely by PEI employers, based on the principle of collective liability.

The premiums Island employers pay are pooled into an accident fund. This fund is used to pay benefits to workers who are injured at work and to support the WCB's prevention and administration activities.

For the compensation system to run efficiently, it is important that you, as an Island employer:

Establish your coverage as legislated by the Workers Compensation Act.
Maintain your registration.
Make timely payments based on your assessment rate.
