As we arrive at work each day, we’re hoping for things to run smoothly. Regardless of our title or position, the possibility of injury on the job is always around the corner.

Though it’s likely most employers are working to keep things safe, it’s important to be aware of compensation available for job-related injuries. The WSIB or Workplace Safety and Insurance Board pay benefits to injured workers from the money it collects from employers.&nbsp;

Not all workplaces are required to have WSIB coverage. But if yours does and you’re curious to know more, then you’ve come to the right place! This article will cover the crucial points of WSIB.

Every workplace has insurance in place to assist workers who have been injured on the job. This insurance should entitle the worker to a range of benefits, but in order to access these, some steps must be followed.

As mentioned in our introduction, the WSIB covers work-related injury or illness, and this happens by paying benefits directly collected from employers. In some cases, your workplace will have workers’ compensation, while other workplaces will be required to have WSIB coverage. Regardless of if your workplace pays into it or not, you’ll be covered by WSIB automatically.&nbsp;

If you happen to get injured at work or as a result of your job, you’ll need to file a claim. Following this, the WSIB will take the steps to determine what kind of coverage you need. It’s important to mention here that if your injury is covered by workers' compensation, then you won’t be able to sue your employer if that’s your prerogative. Next, we’ll cover the in’s and out’s of filing a claim.&nbsp;

First things first, you’ll need to file a claim for your work-related injury. This claim can be filed by you alone, your workplace or your doctor. When it comes to filing a claim, these are the first 3 steps:

It’s important to note that depending on the nature of your injury, a workers' compensation claim may be in process for years. If you are permanently impaired and receive compensation as a result, you’ll be dealing with the WSIB until age 65. In the early stages of the process, you’ll need to be in contact with your employer even if you’re no longer going to work.

Further, the law requires you to report to the WSIB if there are any “material changes”. Though it’s not clearly defined what this means, we’d suggest reporting if you return to work or your medical condition changes. If you’re unsure about what to report, the safest route is to give the WSIB a call.&nbsp;

It’s also worth mentioning that the WSIB may choose the doctor you see in order to assess whether or not you’re fit to return to work. They also may recommend that you attend a treatment or rehabilitation program. If these suggestions don’t suit you, it’s important to discuss this with your own doctor. Be certain to keep a record of all the calls made between you, your doctor, as well as you and the WSIB.

Workers compensation claim: what’s involved?

A claim can involve many decisions made over a period of several years. When you file a claim, you’ll be assigned a case manager and this individual will make decisions about some of the following:

Again, we’d recommend keeping in touch with the WSIB as much as possible, as each of these decisions will affect the benefits you receive including the amount of monthly compensation.

Let’s look at some of the scenarios you may encounter and the benefits the WSIB can offer you.

Lost wages:

If you qualify, you’ll be entitled to full wages from the day you were injured, regardless of if you were at work or not. Following this day, if you continue to lose wages, the WSIB should cover them. These are referred to as LOE benefits or Loss of Earnings.

The WSIB will cover 85% of the difference between the net amount of what you earned before you were injured and what you will be earning after the injury. If you happen upon a lower-paying job post-injury, the WSIB will calculate your LOE benefits based on what they think you should earn.&nbsp;

Health care benefits:

If you require health care as a result of your injury, the WSIB may cover it. It’s important to be approved before you access health care, as the WSIB may not pay you back. It’s possible they could cover the following:

If you’ve worked at a job where you were injured for a period of more than 1 year, your employer should offer your regular job back. It’s important to note here that there are special rules for the construction industry.

If you’re not able to return to work because of your injury, then the WSIB must help you find other work. This is referred to as the work transition plan, which should help you overcome your injury and begin working again:

What happens while I wait for WSIB benefits?

There are some important steps to take while waiting for a WSIB claim and they are the following:&nbsp;

It’s difficult to say how long it will take for your benefits to come in, so looking for other sources of income or options during the waiting period is relatively crucial.
