New WCB Laws
On January 1, 2006, many changes to The Workers Compensation Act came into effect. These changes were set out in Bill 25, The Workers Compensation Amendment Act, which was adopted unanimously by the Manitoba Legislature. It incorporated the vast majority of the recommendations of the February 2005 report of the Legislative Review Committee on The Workers Compensation Act.
Most changes apply to work-related injuries or diseases occurring on or after January 1, 2006. Other changes, largely related to coverage and return to work, are to be implemented following further consultation with affected industries, employers and workers.
