Timely incident reporting benefit workers, employers

摘要

Timely accident reporting to the provincial compensation board is a major component of claims management. Failure to report claims in a timely manner may result in employers being assessed with administrative penalties by the compensation board, and/or being prosecuted under the provincial compensation legislation. Many employers have asked whether they are required to submit a report if they dispute that the reported injury is work-related. They dispute the reporting requirement in the absence of a work-related injury.
