Why do I need to submit an Employer’s Report of Incident to the WSCC?

Under the Workers’ Compensation Act(s), all employers operating in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories must submit a fully completed Employer’s Report of Incident within three business days or they will incur penalties. If an injury or fatality* occurs, they must also complete an Injury Report or Fatality Report for every impacted worker.

* If there is an accident causing serious bodily injury or a dangerous occurrence, you must call the 24-hour Incident Reporting line at 1-800-661-0792 as soon as is reasonably possible and complete and submit this report within three business days.
