Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)

In 2019 I suffered a workplace injury which has left me in a permanent wheelchair and also with a permanent permit and unable to work there has been no support from this company at all financially or anything to do around my injury this company is all about the employer and do not care about the INJURED Worker this place is a joke

My advice to anyone is document everything, record your phone calls as representatives of WSIB have told me to ignore Dr. Restrictions and work anyway. Find the number for workplace advisory board to get help as WSIB denies legitimate claims and in my experience makes life so difficult you finally just want to say forget about it and go back to work injured. Fight for your rights because it's employers and workers money that fund WSIB.

If I could rate this government created institution negative stars I would. It is nothing more than make work project to grow the public sector. The employees are vastly overpaid and cannot give or choose not to give straight answers about anything and pass you further along to more people who cannot or choose not answer questions, and so on, and so on. When an employee goes on wsib" the employer essentially pays the entire amount of the missed time

Words can not describe how betrayed i am with WSIB. I have been diagnosed with PTSD fallowing a major workplace accident. the referral from my doctors office to get diagnosed and treated was 16 months where I live. I was denied WSIB because the application window is apparently a max 6 months.. when i was still waiting 10 months for a diagnosis. when the condition was putting me in a cationic state where I COULD NOT FUNCTION to apply.

In 2018 I lost my leg at a work accident. They pay for all my medical bills, but my issue is that they only gave me $30,000 then they cut my paychecks down to $400 bi-weekly from $950. Without me finding a job.And now I feel abandoned.So yeah they are garbage.

UPDATE: One month in now. I have received a partial payment. Thats it. WSIB is an ABSOLUTE FAILURE within our system.20 days since I was injured at work and it has been nothing but a run around. I have been approved, yet I have not recieved a dime and the money that is supposedly coming isn't at the 85 percent as advertised. They say I need documentation stating that I am full time, meanwhile they have a form 7 from my employer stating that I am full time.I injured my back and they sent me a back book" with outdated information from 2001. I have 3 bulging discs from my injury and can barely walk or sit on my own but the book says to go swimming and cycling so I can get back to work. It was clearly designed to guilt the injured into returning back to work despite medical advice and personal limitations.I am very disappointed and quite hungry."

I injured my back at work, my wsib claims representative wanted me to return to work full time after my injury despite the fact I could barely move, after my X-rays came in and proved I was actually injured and had a herniated disc in my back, my wsib claims representative Adam Lyons refused to pay me for time I had taken off specifically requested by my doctor. He told me there is no “proof” of my injury and basically said I had no reason to feel hurt because I wasn’t... lol.After months of doing physiotherapy, I am still not 100% but he took it upon himself to cut off my benefits saying that I should be back to normal without consulting me, my doctor or my physiotherapist. I seriously hope I never get Injured again because I never want to have to deal with wsib again.

Couple of burps but got done. Very efficient thanks. Well changed banks and now my life time pension is missing. WSIB says they sent it and Bank of Montreal says they didn't receive it. Turns out changing your account info 9 days ahead wasn't enough and they sent my pension to the wrong bank which I have no access to

As a former case manager I can assure you that this place is awful and corrupt. If a case manager isn't shutting down claims and bullying people back to work fast enough then you're a goner. Your managers success is dependent upon stats. I once got in trouble for listening to an injured worker for too long while they vented.

Definitely working to ensure that workers' safety is paramount. They follow up on injuries through telephone calls, guidance, documentation and treatment with all parties, where necessary.
