The Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal is a quasi-judicial body authorized to hear final level appeals from both workers and employers on compensation claim matters. The tribunal is independent from the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board.

The Workers’ Compensation Act has as one of its objectives that the appeals procedure be simple, fair, accessible, with minimal delays [section 1(e)]. The work of the tribunal must meet these objectives. In addition, the tribunal’s goals are to:

• ensure that workers, dependents of deceased workers and employers are treated with compassion, respect, and fairness;
• set down appeals for hearing as soon as possible and with adequate time for the parties and appeal committees to be adequately prepared (such preparation includes (a) obtaining disclosure of the file; (b) preparing a file summary and book of documents, where necessary, for easy reference to relevant materials from the file during the hearing and (c) reviewing the entire record before the hearing);
• write good quality decisions in a timely manner; and
• ensure that tribunal members have adequate training for hearing and deciding workers’ compensation appeals.

The tribunal has a small office at 419 Range Road, a fully accessible building with excellent hearing facilities. The office is staffed by a full-time appeals officer.

Claimants who wish to appeal to the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal may do so with or without the help of the Workers' Advocate.
