These include amendments to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 through Bills 190 (the Working for Workers Five Act, 2024) and 229 (the Working for Workers Six Act, 2024), as well as changes to OPM Document No. 18-02-02, "Determining Short-Term Average Earnings" (effective December 5, 2024). Additional policy updates include the introduction of a new classification for Temporary Employment Agencies (effective January 1, 2025).
