WorkSafeBC
Updates

New WorkSafeBC policy for Loan-out Companies within the Motion Picture and Television Industry.

The new workplace status policy took effect on January 1, 2023. The changes that most impacted the motion picture and television industry are the removal of the Personal Service Corporation-specific guideline and the new ‘sufficient independence’ test (whether a corporation has sufficient independence to warrant registration).

What does this mean? 

Under the new workplace status policy, all corporations must register with WorkSafeBC unless they do not have sufficient independence to warrant registration. For the motion picture and television industry, WorkSafeBC has accepted the industry’s concept of LOC, which is a sole shareholder corporation that “loans out” its one and only shareholder to an MPTI firm in a short-term quasi-employment relationship.
