Workers with a Casual Pattern of Employment at the Time of Injury
When a worker has a casual pattern of employment at the time of their injury, the worker's average earnings determination must be based on the worker's gross earnings for the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of injury. The issue of this consultation is how to adequately guide the determination of whether a worker had a casual pattern of employment at the time of their injury. The Policy and Research Division has developed a discussion paper on Average Earnings - Casual Pattern of Employment (PDF 80kb) for consideration by stakeholders.
Stakeholders are invited to review the discussion paper, options and draft policy, and provide feedback until September 14, 2005. Comments may be sent by mail, fax or e-mail to:

| By fax: | 604 279-7599 |
| By e-mail: | policy@worksafebc.com |
| When responding, please provide your name, organization, and address. | |
WorkSafeBC's governing body, the Board of Directors, will consider the opinions expressed by stakeholders before it adopts any amendments to the current policies.

Division's database and may be published, including the identity of organizations
