-
Working Remotely - Policy 02-01 Part I and Part II, Applications 1, 2, and 3, Arises Out of and Occurs in the Course of Employment
We restructured this policy effective September 1, 2023, to provide clarity on coverage when working from designated workspaces. This includes when coverage begins and ends, the impact of personal hazards, and travel between the designated workspace and the employer’s workplace.
We amalgamated Application 1 (Employment Hazards) with Application 2 (Time and Place) as all three factors are required to determine compensability. We repurposed Application 1 as a summary chart.
-
Policy 03-01, Part II, Application 1, Relationship to compensable accident: We updated the cross reference in Question 6 as a result of renumbering in Policy 02-01.
-
Policy 06-01, Part II, Application 5, Coverage outside of Alberta: We added a cross reference to Policy 02-01 to Question 1 when determining compensability of claims outside Alberta.
We made non-substantive changes to the following policies:
We also updated Document History and Table of Contents.
