The requirement under our legislation is that the employer, upon hearing of a worker seeking medical attention or losing time from work, has a legal requirement to report to WSIB. That's the primary channel.
Second, if the employer is non-compliant or doesn't do what he or she is supposed to do, the worker can claim it at any time. If a worker goes to a physician in Ontario or to the emergency department, for example, and says, “I hurt myself at work,” that triggers a responsibility on that health care provider, under the law, to send us a form in which we set up a claim. Then we go to the other parties, the employer in particular, and ask, “Were you aware of this worker seeking medical attention?” We start the ball rolling right there.
That's typically not a large barrier.
