An Important Message from Scott
From the City Unit's Collective Agreement
Claim forms covering any illness or injury will not be accepted by the Employer and the Employee will not be eligible for Short Term Disability benefits for the absence in question, unless the form is submitted within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the Employee's obligation to provide documented verification for their absence first arose under the Regulations to Appendix "C".

Worker Appeals
If the WSIB makes a decision you do not agree with, your first step should be to discuss the issue with the person who made the decision. By communicating constructively with the decision maker, you can often resolve a dispute early, without going through the substantial time and effort of a formal appeal. Even when a formal appeal is necessary, we always encourage a positive and cooperative approach in order to reach a resolution that is fair to everyone involved. If you are considering an appeal, here are a few things you should know. [Sep 22, 2009 12:09 PM]
How and When do I File a Claim for Benefits with the WSIB?
A worker who is injured at work or becomes sick because of his/her job should: Get first aid immediately, or health care if needed. Tell your employer about the accident or illness as soon as possible. [Sep 22, 2009 11:54 AM]
