Case Summary : Decision-Making Process
Transfer-of-cost employers
A representative of a "transfer of cost" employer complained
about the WSIB's decision to deny access to the worker’s claim
file. The representative was concerned that the transfer-of-cost
employer could not meaningfully participate in the appeal process
without access to the file. He asked the Commission to look into
the access issue.
The Commission talked with the director of legal branch and chief
corporate services officer. The WSIB advised the Commission that
it was reviewing and revising its access policies. New policies
that include provisions for access to a worker's file by a transfer-of-cost
employer came into effect as of January 3, 2006.
