Determining Average Earnings for Declared Workers

 This policy outlines: 

• who qualifies as a declared worker under The Workers Compensation Act (the Act); 
• how the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) determines average earnings for declared workers; and 
• when the average earnings of declared workers may be adjusted. 

The policy also describes how average earnings are determined in cases where a person qualifies for more than one type of average earnings adjustment under the Act and applicable WCB policies.
