If you have been injured at work, or developed a medical condition from work, there is some basic information you need to know; You need to immediately report the incident to your employer and the WSIB, as well as to get medical treatment as soon as possible.

We know what benefits are available to you, including income benefits, and how to make the system work best for our clients.

For employers

Employers in Ontario must follow Occupational Health and Safety laws to protect their workers. Unfortunately, accidents will always occur at which point strict deadlines begin. We ensure your business is meeting current advice on how to proceed in any particular situation when dealing with an injured worker or the WSIB and/or WSIAT.

Health and safety at the workplace are more crucial than ever as we work through the global pandemic. You must ensure the health and safety of your remote workers. Employers have responsibilities under the WSIB. In addition to registering within the first 10 days of hiring the first employee, employers must report workplace incidents to the WSIB within three (3) days of when the incident causes a worker to lose time from work, earn less than their regular day's pay and/or received healthcare treatment

There is only one exception to the above-mentioned deadline. Employers have seven days to report an incident only when the worker needs nothing beyond first aid and receives modified work at full pay. If the worker requires more than seven consecutive days, the employer is obligated to report the injury to the WSIB.

Employers must keep records of the incident, with concise details of matter that arises, and the recovery time of the worker. Furthermore, employers must report any significant changes that affects the employer's commitments to the WSIB within 10 days.
