Y ukon workers are covered by the Yukon workers' compensation system, which is administered by the Yukon Workers' Compensation, Health and Safety Board. Under the Yukon Workers' Compensation Act , workers are guaranteed adequate compensation for work-related disabilities. This includes reimbursement for lost wages, awards for permanent impairments, rehabilitation, medical aid, and death benefits. Yukon employers collectively fund the system.
Workers have the right to a safe working environment, for which they are partially responsible.
