Dear clients and friends,

Important Changes Coming to the WSIB: Learn how to manage WSIB costs in the new legal landscape

In 2017, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board published draft Chronic Mental Stress and Rate Framework policies:

· The draft Chronic Mental Stress policy, set to come into effect on January 1, 2018, will make it easier for a worker to make a claim for non-traumatic mental stress.

· The draft Rate Framework policies, slated for implementation on January 1, 2019, completely overhauls how premiums will be calculated and claims costed back to an employer’s account.
