The Saskatchewan Workers' Compensation Board is committed to achieving a representative workforce. Members of designated groups (women, aboriginal people, people with disabilities and visible minorities) are encouraged to apply. Workers’ compensation insurance is a provincial responsibility. Each Canadian province and territory has its own workers’ compensation legislation. The Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) operates like an insurance company. We provide guaranteed benefits and programs to injured workers in industries covered by The Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013 and we protect registered employers from lawsuits when a workplace injury happens. The Saskatchewan WCB was established in 1911 because of a historic compromise between Saskatchewan workers and employers. Under that compromise, workers injured on the job in covered industries do not have to pay for the benefits they receive or sue their employers to get them. Costs are paid entirely by Saskatchewan employers in covered industries. This is referred to as a no-fault insurance system, also referred to as the compensation system. The WCB’s vision is to eliminate injuries and restore abilities. This is the fundamental driver of all that we do on behalf of our customers – the workers and employers of the province. The WCB is governed by The Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013. Business analysis and quality assurance testing assists the WCB in maturing and improving WCB’s business analysis and testing operations and practices. This plays a central role between business teams and IT teams to ensure alignment of capabilities delivered by the information technology team to the needs of the business. Quality assurance testing includes application testing, defect reporting and application production support.

The QA Tester is responsible for planning, developing, and executing test cases for software applications and system enhancements. They also analyze business requirements and collaborate with development teams to identify, document, and resolve software defects.
