You will qualify for workers’ compensation benefits if:
You work for a private employer with at least five employees or a construction company with at least one employee
You suffer a work-related injury or are diagnosed with an occupational disease
You are classified as an employee, not a contractor
This applies to all employees, including part-time/casual laborers, full-time, or family members. Your employer must legally post information about their workers’ compensation coverage in a conspicuous place, provide details about the policy, and identify the insurance company or claims administrator. Make a note of this information if you have been hurt on the job.
