WHY US
Who Must Register with WCB in Nova Scotia?
WCB Nova Scotia is the province’s government agency that administers workplace injury insurance under the Workers’ Compensation Act. Acting as a no-fault insurer, it provides benefits to injured workers and protects employers from legal liability related to workplace injuries. Employers in mandatory industries with three or more workers (including part-time, casual, and subcontractors) are required to register within 10 days of meeting this threshold. Smaller employers may opt for voluntary coverage, especially if they hire multiple independent contractors.
You must register if you operate in:
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Retail and service industries
- Landscaping or maintenance
- Cleaning and janitorial services
Some businesses are exempt (like financial institutions, travel agencies, or salons), but optional WCB coverage is available for owners, partners, and excluded sectors.
