Managing WSIB Claims Costs in a New Landscape
WSIB Cuts Second Injury and Enhancement Fund (SIEF)
With the closure of WSIB’s Second Injury and Enhancement Fund (SIEF), Schedule 1 employers need to reassess how they manage claims costs involving issues of causation, pre-existing conditions, and pre-accident impairments.
In this session, Hicks Morley’s WSIB Practice Group Leader, Stephanie Savoni, will discuss existing tools employers can use as part of a comprehensive claims management strategy, including entitlement appeals, ongoing entitlement reviews and the application of WSIB policies addressing pre-existing conditions and aggravation of prior conditions. She will also highlight the importance of a robust return-to-work program, with a focus on safe and early return to work.
