Reporting to WSIB

An employer must report a workplace injury or illness within three days of learning about it if your employee:

  • The worker needed treatment from a health professional, or
    • was absent from work, or
    • earns less than regular pay (e.g., working fewer hours or being paid less per hour).
  • You must provide a copy of the injury or illness report to your employee.

Exemption from reporting to WSIB

 

You do not have to report an injury or illness to WSIB if all three of the following apply:

The worker required first aid only, and

The worker did not take any time off work, and

The worker did not have a reduction in pay

NOTE* Even if your employee does not need treatment from a health professional, you must report their injury or illness if they are doing modified work. This means any change in their regular job while recovering from an injury or illness for more than seven days (at regular pay). In this case, you must report on the eighth day of modified work.

You must report a workplace injury within three days of learning about your employee’s workplace injury or illness. You are responsible for reporting an injury or illness of anyone you employ in your business, including family, seasonal or temporary employees, certain domestic employees, people doing construction work, students, apprentices, and training participants.

If you are not sure whether the injury or illness is work-related, you should still report it to us. We make the decision whether an injury or illness is work-related. It is against the law to discourage reporting of a workplace injury or illness.
