Locally-Engaged Employees Outside Canada

These employees are usually foreign citizens hired in their own countries by the federal government to provide support services in Canadian offices overseas, such as embassies and consulates.

Locally-engaged employees are either covered for workers’ compensation in their respective country or may be covered under section 7 of the Government Employees’ Compensation Act, which is administered directly by the Labour Program.

• If you are a locally-engaged employee injured on the job or who suffers from a workplace illness, you may be eligible for compensation. You should report any workplace accident or illness to your employer who is responsible for completing an accident report.
• If you are a federal government employer who hires locally-engaged employees, you can learn more about handling compensation issues and procedures if one of your employees gets hurt at work or suffers from a work-related illness.
