Survivors of Employees Slain on Duty

Violence in the workplace, though not common, can touch any of us. As the survivor of a federal government employee killed by a violent act at work, you may be eligible for a guaranteed supplementary income benefit. This benefit plan can supplement income from other government sources so that you may receive an amount equal to the slain employee’s net income or pension. The Labour Program administers the plan and works with employers and surviving dependants to ensure that survivors are compensated fairly.

• Whether you are a surviving dependant or an employer, you should be familiar with the Public Service Income Benefit Plan, which outlines the provisions for this benefit.
• Find out who is eligible and how to apply.
• As an employer, do you know what your responsibilities are if one of your employees is slain on the job? The Human Resources branch of your department or agency is responsible for providing information to employees on this benefit plan and for informing the plan administrator that an employee has been slain on duty and providing all the necessary information so the claim can be assessed thoroughly and without delay.
• We can help you understand how the plan is organized, including the role of the Labour Program as plan administrator.
