For a federal government employee, which body handles workers' compensation claims?

• A. The federal Public Service Commission
• B. The Canada Revenue Agency
• C. The workers' compensation board or commission established for the province/territory in the employee's jurisdiction of employment
• D. The National Safety Board

Answer: (C)

Workers’ compensation in Canada is administered at the provincial/territorial level. For a federal government employee, the claim is handled by the workers’ compensation board or commission established in the province or territory where the employee works. This board administers the benefits, medical coverage, and wage replacement tied to that jurisdiction’s rules. The other bodies listed do not manage workers’ compensation claims: the Public Service Commission handles federal staffing, the Canada Revenue Agency handles taxes, and there isn’t a national “Safety Board” that processes these claims. So, the correct pathway for a federal employee’s work injury is the local provincial/territorial workers’ compensation board.
