Workers' compensation claims for federal government employees are administered by the jurisdiction where:

• A. the employee works
• B. the federal government
• C. the province where the employee works
• D. the employer

Answer: (A)

In Canada, workers’ compensation is handled by the workers’ compensation board that corresponds to where the employee works. For federal government employees, this means the claim is administered by the provincial or territorial jurisdiction tied to the employee’s work location, not by a single national office or by the employer’s identity alone. The local board applies its own rules, rates, and processes, and pays benefits through that jurisdiction.

So, if the federal employee is working in Ontario, the Ontario board handles the claim; if in Quebec, the CNESST handles it, and so on. The federal government acts as the employer, but the administration of the claim follows the jurisdiction of the work site.
