Does your organization feel victimized as a result of an unfair decision rendered by the WSIB?
Any employer whose interests are affected by a WSIB decision has a right to object to that decision at anytime. Some WSIB decisions which might be appealed may include the following:

• Decisions which wrongfully grant initial entitlement
• Ongoing entitlement to Loss Of Earnings benefits
• Worker entitlement to a WSIB sponsored training program
• Objections to employer classification systems
• Amount of employer premiums being paid
• WSIB penalties assigned to employers
• Decisions which wrongfully grant initial entitlement whereby the work accident and/or claim for benefits may be fraudulent in nature.
• Workers entitlement to a WSIB Sponsored school training program where suitable work was in fact offered by the employer.

There exists 2 primary levels of appeal under the WSIB’s new “integrated appeals system” where some type of resolution is applied to adverse decisions. These are:

1. WSIB Hearing
2. WSIAT Appeals Tribunal

Our WSIB specialists will represent your company’s needs at either level of an appeal.
It is imperative that adverse decisions are favorably resolved at the WSIB Hearings level so as to avoid costly and rather lengthy delays in having the case heard at an Appeals Tribunal.
It is the “Appeals Tribunal” which has the exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide all appeals from final decisions rendered by the WSIB.

Our organizations expertise in dealing with WSIB related issues ranging from revenue and premiums to return to work will allow for the most adequate form of representation at either level of appeal.
