A report into the province’s Workers’ Compensation System has been released.
The 2019 Statutory Review of the province’s system, called, “Striving for Balance and Compromise”, makes 48 recommendations for improvements in the areas of review process efficiency, balance in the provision of benefits and financial sustainability.
Other recommendations were made outside of these areas. The recommendations were informed by public consultations from across the province and discussions with stakeholders, including employer and employee representatives.
A review of the recommendations is set to begin immediately.
